Indian Oil Tanker Turned Back From Omani Corridor In Strait Of Hormuz

Tehran: An Indian oil tanker has been turned back from the Omani corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli media reported. Earlier, Reuters had reported that at least four oil and gas tankers were stopped from trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz.

This comes after US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire deal with Iran is “over”.

Tensions In Hormuz

In violation to the ceasefire with US, Iran started attacking commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to the attacks on ships in the crucial waterway , US Central Command launched a series of attacks against the Middle Eastern country.

US said Iran’s aggression was unwarranted, dangerous and a clear violation of the ceasefire.

In response to US attacks, Iran's Revolutionary Guards conducted missile and drone operations targeting US military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait. 

Trump Says ‘Ceasefire Over’

Amidst the attacks and counter-attacks, US President Donald Trump has announced that the ceasefire with Iran is over.

“For me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with the Iranians. They are scum, they are sick people. They are led by sick people and are vicious, violent people,” Trump said.

“We attacked, very powerfully last night, the very dangerous people from Iran... There's something wrong with them. We say, 'Go and do your funeral stuff,' and instead of that, they start shooting rockets at ships yesterday. So we hit them very hard last night,” the US President added.
