Meanwhile, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had also struck a Liberia-flagged vessel and a Thai bulk carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming both ignored warnings to stop.

"The Israeli-owned Express Rome ship, flying the Liberian flag, and the container ship Mayuree Naree, were hit by Iranian projectiles and stopped after ignoring the warnings of the IRGC naval forces," the Guards said in a statement carried by Iranian Students' News Agency.

IRGC navy commander Alireza Tangsiri also said in a post on X that "any vessel intending to pass must get permission from Iran".
