00:04Welcome back. We'll continue in the Middle East, where Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,
00:09Nibi, warned Saturday that any attack on Iranian oil tankers or commercial vessels
00:14would trigger a strong and decisive response against U.S. military targets and enemy ships
00:18in the region. In a statement, the RGC said it would protect Iran's maritime routes and
00:24commercial fleet in the Stradisic Strait of Hormuz. The warning comes amidst rising naval
00:28tensions between Iran and the United States following the recent incidents near the Iranian
00:33port of Yask, a military activity in the Persian Gulf. RGC naval forces have demonstrated their
00:39resolve in recent days, repelling aggressive maneuvers by U.S. destroyers that attempted
00:44to challenge Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Also, Iranian military sources have
00:49repeatedly highlighted that provocative U.S. actions represent a dangerous disruption of
00:53regional maritime security.
