Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has accused the United States of jeopardising global oil and gas supplies by interfering in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, as renewed hostilities flare, AFP reports.

IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebi says Washington has “seriously endangered the security of the world’s oil and gas supply and must be held accountable”, adding in a post on X that Tehran “will continue to exercise sovereignty over and management of the Strait of Hormuz”.
