DUBAI: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on ​Sunday that two ships were involved in an “accident” after attempting to ‌transit the ‌Strait ​of ‌Hormuz ⁠via ​an “unsafe route,” while ⁠two other vessels abandoned that route, the semi-official Tasnim news ⁠agency reported.

The ‌Guards ‌said ​the ‌four vessels ‌had ignored Iranian warnings and acted with US backing.

“Vessels ‌that are influenced by the ⁠words ⁠of the Americans and enter unsafe routes will certainly face accidents,” the Guards warned in a ​statement.
