Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy has issued a stark directive for all tanker crews operating near the piers of Kuwait and Bahrain. The naval force declared that personnel should "immediately abandon ship, whether the vessel is anchored or docked, as it will become a strike target."

This severe warning comes in the wake of a US military offensive that reportedly targeted "several" Iranian oil tankers. The statement further accused Kuwait and Bahrain of harboring what it termed "these terrorists" and of being complicit in their operations, suggesting their involvement in the actions that provoked the American response.

The threat escalates tensions in the region, placing commercial shipping and crew safety in a precarious position as geopolitical friction continues to mount.
