Two oil tankers that were secretly trying to cross the unauthorized route of the Strait of Hormuz with their navigation and automatic identification systems switched off struck naval mines, exploded, and caught fire severely, the IRGC said in a statement on Sunday.
Following the explosion of the two oil tankers, two other tankers that had intended to pass secretly heeded the warnings of the IRGC Navy’s Traffic Control Center in the Strait of Hormuz and returned toward the waters of the Persian Gulf, it added.
