Tehran, IRNA – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) issued a statement on Wednesday elaborating on an operation in which the IRGC Navy Force thwarted an attack by the US terrorist forces on an Iranian tanker to confiscate its oil in the Sea of Oman.

The IRGC said that clear and undeniable images of this operation will be released within hours.

According to local media, the US had seized an Iranian oil tanker in the Sea of Oman, transferred its oil to another tanker, and taken the tanker to an unknown place.

However, the IRGC forces in a heliborne operation took control of the tanker.
