Iran said early Wednesday it would target oil tankers off Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for US strikes on its vessels, urging crews to leave their ships, according to the IRNA state news agency.
"We warn all oil tankers in the Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports, which host these terrorists and are partners in their evils, whether they are anchored or docked -- we warn them to leave their vessels because they will be targeted," Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement posted on IRNA.
