In the early hours of March 13, 2026, a shocking incident unfolded in the Northern Persian Gulf.

At precisely 3:12 a.m., the tranquility of the waters was shattered by the sound of an underwater explosion, akin to a massive sledgehammer striking a hollow steel cathedral.

The Pacific Sentinel, a US-owned tanker, was struck by 400 pounds of high explosives detonating just three feet below the waterline.

Before the ship’s crew could even react to the alarm, a second unmanned explosive boat crashed into the vessel, causing it to list dramatically.

This was not a random act of piracy; it was a calculated maneuver executed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), signaling a new level of aggression in the region.
