Iran Attacking Ships Attempting to Transit Strait of Hormuz
March 11th, 2026Via: Telegraph:
The Islamic Republic’s joint command threatened the US, Israel and their allies with attacks on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz as the countries continue their bombing campaign against Iran.
It said it would shift from “reciprocal hits” to “continuous strikes” on its adversaries – a move it warned could push global oil prices to $200 (£160) a barrel.
“We won’t allow even one litre of oil to reach the ?US, Zionists and their partners. Any vessel or ?tanker bound to them ?will be a legitimate target,” ?Ebrahim Zolfaqari, an Iranian military spokesman, ?said.
“Get ready for the oil barrel to ?be at $200 because the oil price ?depends on ?the regional security which you have destabilised,” he added.
The threat follows overnight strikes on three cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, including the Thai bulk carrier Mayuree Naree, whose crew was evacuated by the Omani navy.
