ReplyDeleteL'agenzia iraniana Tasnim cita una sua fonte riguardo gli eventi a Bandar Abbas:
ReplyDelete«Una fonte militare informata ha dichiarato all'agenzia di stampa Tasnim che ore fa una petroliera americana, spegnendo il suo sistema radar, ha tentato di attraversare lo Stretto di Hormuz, ma è stata costretta a fermarsi e a tornare indietro dall'azione rapida e decisa della Marina del Corpo delle Guardie della Rivoluzione Islamica e dal fuoco sparato verso di essa.
Al contrario, l'esercito terroristico americano ha sparato su un'area vicino a Bandar Abbas, e il rumore delle esplosioni è dovuto a questo incidente; questo attacco non ha causato vittime o danni materiali».
