Two Violating Oil Tankers Explode After Striking Naval Mines in the Strait of Hormuz

TEHRAN (Defapress) - The Public Relations office of the IRGC Navy issued a statement reporting that two violating oil tankers had exploded and caught fire after striking naval mines within an illegal passage in the Strait of Hormuz.

The text of the statement is as follows:

To the valiant and awakened nation of Islamic Iran;

Your steadfastness and resilience, as a brave and discerning people, have humbled and disgraced your enemies, while rallying the oppressed nations of the world to take a stand.

This is a monumental victory, achieved through your sustained presence over more than 230 nights, a movement that has ignited a surge of solidarity among nations across all five continents.

Your warriors within the IRGC’s Naval and Aerospace forces, who maintain constant surveillance over the region, remain committed to the pledge they made to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and to you, the loyal people. By asserting sovereignty and control over the Strait of Hormuz, they continue to tighten their grip on the throats of the voracious, predatory powers of the world.

In this context, last night, the heroic air defense forces of the IRGC, while monitoring the airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, detected an MQ-9 drone belonging to the aggressive U.S. military. They immediately engaged the target, resulting in its destruction and downing.

Furthermore, following the detonation of naval mines laid by the courageous forces of the IRGC Navy along an illegal route south of the Strait of Hormuz, two violating oil tankers caught fire and were brought to a halt. The IRGC Navy issues another warning: traversing the mined route is unlawful and will result in nothing but the destruction of the transgressors' assets. Furthermore, should the arrogant U.S. regime persist in these malicious acts, oil companies will be forced to pay an even heavier price.
