The Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that a liquefied gas ship named "MV Sunshine," belonging to the Natwest company, was targeted while passing through the southern Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC stated that this ship was navigating through an "illegal" route, and after being hit, its engine room and propulsion system caught fire extensively.

The IRGC Navy also announced that it controls the Strait of Hormuz and will not allow the presence of U.S. military forces in the area.

In this statement, the IRGC declared that shipping companies cooperating with the U.S. will face sanctions and punitive actions against their vessels.

According to this statement, the IRGC will no longer limit its actions against vessels passing through unauthorized routes to the Strait of Hormuz and will target these ships with punitive measures throughout the region.
