In the name of God, the Subduer of the Tyrants.

"Fight them until there is no more persecution."

IRGC Public Relations:

The honourable and steadfast people of the Islamic Republic of Iran: Your determination, resolve, and resilience have disrupted the enemy's front, strengthened the ranks of the fighters of Islam, and breathed new spirit and energy into them.

Last night, two oil tankers, allegedly encouraged by American aircraft, attempted to leave the designated unsafe route south of the Strait of Hormuz. After a severe fire broke out on one of the tankers, both vessels quickly turned back.

The Strait of Hormuz is our territory, and the courageous sailors of the IRGC Navy firmly control it. No outsider who has come from thousands of kilometres away will be allowed to interfere. With the help of Almighty God, the aggressor will be punished today.

Countries that are assisting the aggressor, if they do not change their behaviour, will receive a severe response.

The Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened as long as the excessive rhetoric, threats by American officials, and their interference in maritime activities in the region continue. Threats and interference will only make the situation more difficult and more complex.

Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
