Iran's IRGC says it struck Togo-flagged tanker in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Thursday that a Togo-flagged oil tanker was struck while attempting an "illegal passage" through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Arab news reports.

The IRGC framed the incident as enforcement against unlawful transit, but the report did not include details on damage, casualties, or the tanker's cargo.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping chokepoint for global oil flows, so the reported attack may heighten supply-security concerns in energy markets.
