00:00Attention all vessels. Attention all vessels. If you cross into the Strait of Hormuz without permission from the Islamic Republic
00:09of Iran, you will be targeted and destroyed.
00:13A chilling warning now echoing across one of the world's most critical waterways.
00:18The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has issued a direct VHF broadcast to all vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:26Attention all vessels. If you cross without permission, you will be targeted and destroyed.
00:33This comes after a stunning 24 hours where multiple vessels, including one linked to South Korea and a reported U
00:41.S. warship, were allegedly attacked.
00:43A warning has now turned into action, and the Strait is on edge.
00:48The escalation began with reports that IRGC naval units struck a cargo vessel linked to South Korea.
00:55According to U.K. maritime trade operations, Iranian fast attack boats and gun vessels swarmed ships near the eastern entrance
01:04of the Strait.
01:05One vessel was fired upon and damaged, though fortunately no casualties were reported.
01:10This is a critical artery of global trade. Nearly 20% of the world's oil passes through here daily.
01:17Now it's becoming a flashpoint.
01:20Then came even more explosive claims.
01:23Iranian media, including Farce News Agency, reported that a U.S. naval vessel was struck by two missiles near Jask.
01:31The allegation? The warship ignored repeated warnings, violated maritime protocols, and was forced to retreat after being hit.
01:39If confirmed, this would mark a direct and unprecedented confrontation between Iran and the United States in these waters.
01:47Tehran says this is enforcement.
01:50Washington calls it fiction.
01:51Because the U.S. is pushing back, reports from BBC and Axios cite American officials denying the claims outright.
02:00No missile strike, no damage, no retreat.
02:03What we're seeing is a growing information battle, layered over an already volatile military situation.
02:10And the danger isn't limited to state actors.
02:14In a separate incident, a merchant tanker near the United Arab Emirates coastline was suddenly hit by unknown projectiles.
02:21No warning, no claim of responsibility.
02:24Earlier, the same day, another bulk carrier was swarmed by small boats just off Iran's coast.
02:30Two attacks, one corridor, one day.
02:33The strait is no longer just tense, it's unpredictable.
02:37From direct warnings to live fire to conflicting global narratives, the strait of Hormuz is entering dangerous territory.
02:45Where every movement is watched, every mistake could escalate, and every ship is now on notice.
02:52This isn't just a maritime dispute anymore.
02:55It's a high-stakes game of power unfolding in real time.
