In a statement (No. 34) issued early on Tuesday, the IRGC announced about the offending vessels, saying they were deceived by "the child-killing US terrorist army" into using the unsafe route, leading to the explosion. ​ Rescue units are currently evacuating the crews of the ill-fated vessels from the area, it said ​ Addressing the Iranian nation, the statement emphasized that the IRGC Navy sailors remained steadfast in their mission to keep their control over the Strait of Hormuz, off the country's southern coast. ​ The IRGC once again warned shipping companies to be careful about the vessels and crews, calling on them not to trust the deceitful information of the US military, and avoid polluted and dangerous routes linking the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. ​ The Iranian Armed Forces have repeatedly declared that the passages of oil, gas, or fertilizer through the Strait of Hormuz would not be secure as long as the US continued disrupting peace and security with its illegal and illegitimate aggression in the region. 📲 ​
