ALWAGHT- The IRGC Navy's rapid response forces engaged after US forces reportedly fired upon an Iranian commercial vessel in the Sea of Oman, causing the American forces to withdraw and depart the area.
On Sunday, American forces opened fire on an Iranian merchant ship in the Sea of Oman, attempting to force it back into Iranian territorial waters due to recent control measures taken by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, with the swift intervention and response from IRGC naval forces supporting the Iranian ship, the American forces retreated and departed the area.
