Two Illicit Oil Tankers Sink in the Strait of Hormuz After Striking Naval Mines
TEHRAN (Defapress) - In a statement, the Public Relations office of the IRGC Navy announced that, over the past few hours, two oil tankers, traveling along an unauthorized route in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz, struck naval mines, resulting in massive explosions.
These tankers, which, through deception and with the support of the criminal U.S. military, had switched off all identification and positioning systems in an attempt to pass through covertly, struck naval mines; following an explosion, they are now engulfed in flames.
It is worth noting that one of these vessels, a supertanker carrying over 2 million barrels of crude oil, sank in the southern waters of the Persian Gulf following the explosion and an intense fire.
Fishermen operating in these areas are advised to exercise caution and prioritize safety to avoid colliding with the wreckage of the sunken tankers.
The IRGC Navy warns the owners of oil tankers, shipping company executives, and vessel crews to avoid approaching the prohibited zone in the Strait of Hormuz, cautioning them: Do not be deceived by the aggressive U.S. military! Any vessel that violates the Iranian regulations governing the Strait of Hormuz by entering this prohibited and hazardous zone will face a similar fate.
