Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for an attack on an oil tanker flying the flag of the Marshall Islands in the Persian Gulf. According to a statement published on the IRGC’s official website, Sepah News, the vessel, commercially known as ‘Luis P,’ was struck by a drone in the central part of the Gulf.

The IRGC described the tanker as part of United States assets but did not provide further details about the extent of damage or any casualties resulting from the incident. The statement did not specify the exact location or timing of the strike beyond identifying it as occurring in the middle of the Persian Gulf.

No immediate information was available regarding the response from the vessel’s operators or other regional authorities, and the scale of the impact remains unclear.
