Revolutionary Guards Navy: Three Tankers Hit Mines While Trying to Escape the Strait of Hormuz According to a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy, three explosive oil tankers exploded and caught fire in the past 24 hours after hitting mines while using an unauthorized southern route through the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Navy says the ships turned off all their radar and navigation systems and ignored repeated warnings as they tried to exit through the unauthorized passage. "The unauthorized route in the Strait of Hormuz is polluted, and ship owners and crews are responsible for using these routes. They should not pay attention to the illusions of the US Central Command on social media," the statement said. The IRGC Navy added that any provocative action supported by the US military's terrorism and aggression, which ignores the Straits Regulations, will be resolutely enforced.
