Arabian gulf? Are they talking about the red sea or is this a mistranslation of Persian gulf? Because I know for a fact Iranians HATE calling the Persian gulf, the Arabian gulf.

💠 اطلاعیه شماره ۸/ سه نفتکش متخلف آمریکایی و انگلیسی مورد اصابت موشکی قرار گرفته و در حال سوختن است

✍️در اطلاعیه شماره ۸ عملیات وعده صادق ۴ روابط عمومی سپاه آمده است:

🔹موج هفتم و هشتم عملیات وعده صادق ۴ پیش ازظهر امروز به سمت اهداف آمریکایی ـ صهیونی با شلیک‌های پی در پی موشک‌ها و پرتاب پردامنه پهپادها صورت گرفت.

🔹پایگاه دریایی علی السالم آمریکا در کویت در پی حملات اخیر، کاملاً از رده فعالیت خارج و ۳ سازه زیرساختی دریایی محمد الاحمد آمریکا در کویت نیز منهدم شدند.

🔹پایگاه دریایی آمریکا در میناء (بندر) سلمان بحرین مورد اصابت ۴ فروند پهپاد قرار گرفته و خسارت شدیدی به مراکز فرماندهی و پشتیبانی آن وارد شده است.

🔹در ادامه حملات به اهداف دریایی دشمن متخاصم، ۳ نفتکش متخلف کشورهای آمریکا و انگلیس در منطقه خلیج فارس و تنگه هرمز مورد اصابت موشکی قرار گرفت و در حال سوختن است.

🔹محل استقرار نظامیان آمریکایی در بحرین با ۲ موشک بالستیک و سایر پایگاه‌های آمریکایی در منطقه مورد حملات پی در پی قرار گرفتند که این حملات منجر به کشته و زخمی شدن ۵۶۰ نظامی آمریکایی تا این لحظه شده است.

🔹با توجه به صدای مستمر آژیر آمبولانس در پایگاه های آمریکایی و صهیونی و همچنین اخبار میدانی و پایش‌های اطلاعاتی، شاهد وقوع بحران روانی در میان نظامیان آمریکایی و شهرک نشینان صهیونی هستیم و قطعاً با افزایش فشارهای هدفمند نیروهای مسلح ج.ا.ا عرصه بر آنان تنگ تر نیز خواهد شد.

🔹در پایان یادآور می‌شویم حملات موشکی و پهپادی به صورت مستمر و فراگیر ادامه دارد و دستاوردهای تهاجمی فرزندان غیور ملت ایران در نیروهای مسلح ج.ا.ا، به اطلاع ملت شریف ایران خواهد رسید.

وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی

autotranslated to english💠 Announcement No. 8/ Three violating American and British oil tankers have been hit by missiles and are burning

✍️ In Announcement No. 8 of Operation Vadeh Sadeq 4, the Public Relations of the IRGC stated:

🔹 The seventh and eighth waves of Operation Vadeh Sadeq 4 took place this morning towards American-Zionist targets with continuous missile launches and extensive drone deployments.

🔹 The Ali Al-Salem US naval base in Kuwait has been completely out of operation following recent attacks, and three US naval infrastructure structures of Mohammad Al-Ahmad in Kuwait were also destroyed.

🔹 The US naval base in Mina (port) Salman, Bahrain, was hit by 4 drones, causing severe damage to its command and support centers.

🔹 Continuing attacks on hostile enemy naval targets, 3 violating oil tankers from the US and UK in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz were hit by missiles and are burning.

🔹 The location of US military personnel in Bahrain was attacked with 2 ballistic missiles, and other US bases in the region were subjected to continuous attacks, resulting in 560 US military casualties (killed and wounded) so far.

🔹 Given the continuous sound of ambulance sirens at US and Zionist bases, as well as field reports and intelligence monitoring, we are witnessing a psychological crisis among US soldiers and Zionist settlers, and certainly, with increased targeted pressure from the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, their situation will become even more constrained.

🔹 In conclusion, we remind that missile and drone attacks continue continuously and extensively, and the offensive achievements of the brave sons of the Iranian nation in the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be reported to the honorable Iranian nation.

وَمَا النَّصْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

I cannot find anything so far that says any tanker has been destoryed but I can find a Cuban Article saying that Iran said they would destroy any american ship in the gulf https://www.prensa-latina.cu/2026/03/01/iran-ataca-un-petrolero-en-el-estrecho-de-ormuz/

No it looks like they got atleast one ship https://espanol.almayadeen.net/noticias/politica/2129291/iran-ataca-petrolero-en-el-estrecho-de-ormuz
