Iranian state television has broadcast footage showing thick smoke rising from the oil tanker Kavomaleas following an attack in the Strait of Hormuz. The precise date of the footage could not be independently verified. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says the vessel was targeted after attempting to use the southern passage near Oman despite repeated warnings that the route was unsafe. The IRGC accused the US military of providing vessels with false navigational information and directing crews through a corridor Tehran considers unauthorised. Iran is urging commercial operators to coordinate with its maritime authorities instead of relying on American assurances of safe passage. As Washington attempts to establish freedom of navigation through a US-backed route, Tehran is demonstrating that it retains the ability to impose immediate costs on vessels that disregard its restrictions.
