The IRGC's latest claim, reported by The Jerusalem Post on Sunday, marks the second time this week the group has claimed to strike a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC also said it targeted the Al Udeid airbase, which hosts US Central Command forward headquarters, with ballistic missiles. The claims remain unverified, and the US military has not commented. The IRGC has previously made similar claims of attacks on US and allied targets in the Gulf region in recent weeks.
