Vessels “violating maritime regulations” imposed by Iran have stopped moving after the destruction of navigation systems, strikes on three oil tankers and the destruction of another tanker last night, state broadcaster Press TV reports citing a source close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The source adds that any resumption of “oil smuggling will be met with a much stronger response targeting the vessels involved and the technical systems assisting them”, according to the broadcaster.

They warn that any “renewed US air intervention” will prompt a more decisive response, the consequences of which will lie with the American military
