(MENAFN) An Iranian admiral stated on Monday that numerous United States jets had tried to stop the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy from boarding an oil tanker assumed of trafficking.
Rear Admiral Ramazan Zirrahi informed a news agency that “on July 6, IRGC Navy personnel were inspecting a ship named NADA 2 that was involved in smuggling Iranian oil and gas in the Persian Gulf, which the Americans sought to prevent through a series of risky and unprofessional actions.”
Zirrahi instructs the second marine region of the IRGC, its head office located in Bushehr. He informed the news agency that his men caught wireless smuggle amid the ship’s captain and the “American command and control center in the region.” The 5th Fleet is located in Bahrain.
The Americans supposedly informed the captain to switch off the ship’s machines and wait to be saved.
