Several merchant vessels were attacked in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman region, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported.
"The vessels were attacked with the aim of disabling them amidst ongoing military activity in the region," the agency stated.
The institution also noted that, for the time being, there are no reports of injuries or environmental damage.
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth issued a direct warning to Tehran on Saturday, stating that Washington would respond with the systematic destruction of the Iranian merchant fleet should its armed forces attack the U.S. Navy.
"It’s simple: if Iran fires on U.S. ships, we will destroy (and sink) their oil tankers. All they have to do is not fire at the U.S. Navy," Hegseth asserted in a social media post.
