TEHRAN, March 1 (Xinhua) — Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Sunday it struck three oil tankers belonging to the United States and Britain in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, causing them to catch fire.

A statement published on the official IRGC news portal, Sepah News, reported that strikes also targeted US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain. The strikes reportedly disabled the Ali al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, destroyed three naval infrastructure facilities at the Mohammed al-Ahmed Naval Air Base, and hit the US Naval Command and Support Center in Bahrain.

Additionally, two ballistic missiles were reported to have struck another American base in Bahrain. The IRGC claims the attacks resulted in 560 American casualties, but the US has not confirmed this.

Following this statement, International Maritime Organization Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez called on shipping companies to exercise "utmost caution" and, if possible, avoid the conflict-affected region. He emphasized that freedom of navigation is a "fundamental principle of international maritime law."

The strikes came a day after the United States and Israel launched massive airstrikes against Iran, killing the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other senior officials. In response, Iran attacked Israeli and American targets across the Middle East.
