Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday they had struck a Liberia-flagged vessel, which they claimed was Israeli-owned, as well as a Thai bulk carrier in the Strait of Hormuz after they ignored warnings to stop. “The Israeli-owned Express Rome ship, flying the Liberian flag, and the container ship Mayuree Naree, were hit by Iranian projectiles and stopped after ignoring the warnings of the IRGC naval forces,” the Guards said in a statement carried by Iran´s ISNA news agency. Guards navy commander Alireza Tangsiri said in a post on X that “any vessel intending to pass must get permission from Iran”.
