🔶 The Revolutionary Guards announced a "ground attack on four ships" and "three ships collided with mines".

The Revolutionary Guards Navy announced on Thursday, October 22 (30 sq.m.), that four vessels that its forces "followed and monitored" were "targeted and set on fire" while transporting cargoes of oil to ships in the north-middle of the Persian Gulf:

The Revolutionary Guards called the four vessels "criminals" and claimed that the vessels crossed "illegal routes". Salami's republic views the route that Oman has declared for the passage of ships in the southern Strait of Hormuz and which the United States has said provides its security as "illegal".

In another part of the IRGC's navy statement, it was stated that "even last night (Wednesday night), three ships were hit by mines west of the Strait of Hormuz and suffered from accidents and fires."

The Navy of the Revolutionary Guards announced that "the insistence of the United States to incite vessels to pass through the illegally mined passage increased the maritime incidents day by day." The Revolutionary Guards warned the US military that by continuing this process, "it will expand the range of countermeasures against the attackers' bases in the region."
