The Public Relations Office of the IRGC announced on March 7 that an oil tanker named "Prima" was struck by a drone earlier today due to its disregard for repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy regarding the prohibition of passage and the unsafe conditions in the Strait of Hormuz.

The strategic Strait of Hormuz has been under control for the eighth consecutive day due to the brutal military aggression by the US against Iran and the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in a joint US-Israeli terrorist attack on Tehran on February 28.

Following the US’ military deployments to the Persian Gulf and its unprovoked attacks against Iran, oil tankers and commercial vessels allied with hostile countries are not permitted to transit through the Hormuz Strait.
