Iran has issued a warning to oil tankers anchored or alongside ports in Kuwait and Bahrain, instructing them to leave the vessels immediately. This threat was made in response to US forces destroying five Iranian crude carriers, escalating the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. The Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy claimed that the tankers could be targeted at their present locations.
Tehran accused Kuwait and Bahrain of aiding US military operations against Iranian shipping. Neither country announced immediate evacuations of commercial tankers, but the warning escalated the confrontation beyond Iranian shipping and US naval forces to commercial energy infrastructure in the Gulf states.
