Explosion of an Offending Liquefied Gas Carrier East of the Strait of Hormuz

TEHRAN (Defapress) - In a statement, the Public Relations office of the IRGC Navy announced that, some hours ago, a liquefied gas carrier east of the Strait of Hormuz, disregarding repeated warnings, attempted to traverse an unauthorized and hazardous route in the southern part of the Strait. The vessel struck a naval mine, resulting in a massive explosion.

Failing to learn a lesson from the fate of previously exploded tankers, this vessel had opted for an escort by American combat aircraft to facilitate its passage. Unaware that naval mines do not coordinate with the American military, which acts as a smuggler and aggressor, to select their targets, the vessel suffered a catastrophic explosion.

The IRGC Navy declares that, by the grace of God, the Strait of Hormuz is managed with absolute firmness and seriousness. Any vessel that attempts to violate Iranian regulations in the Strait of Hormuz, ignoring warnings from the IRGC Navy’s Strait of Hormuz traffic control center and entering unauthorized, high-risk routes, will meet the same fate as the aforementioned vessels.
