BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. The Aerospace Force
of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has shelled two US
military bases in Kuwait and military facilities in Bahrain using
ballistic missiles, Trend reports via IRGC.
According to the data, this attack was carried out in response
to the US shelling of radar stations on Qeshm and Sirik islands in
the Hormozgan Province located in southern Iran.
The statement says that late last night, 4 oil tankers attempted
to pass through the Strait of Hormuz under the guidance of the U.S.
military, despite several warnings from the IRGC. Following the
warnings, one of the oil tankers was hit and detained, while the
remaining tankers were forced to retreat.
The report states that Iran warns the opposing side that in the
event of attacks on the Iranian side, the retaliatory fire will not
be limited, and the opposing side will bear responsibility for the
complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz for oil and gas
exports.
As a result of the war that took place between the U.S., Israel,
and Iran from February 28 to April 7, severe restrictions have
arisen on the free passage of ships through the Strait of
Hormuz.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
