The Revolutionary Guards Navy announced on Thursday, November 7 that 3 oil tankers exploded and caught fire while passing through the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz "after hitting a naval mine." According to the "Tasnim" news agency, the Revolutionary Guards Navy announced that these oil tankers were abandoned after the explosion and fire on the southern shores of the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Navy claimed in this statement that the oil tankers had turned off their radar and navigation systems and despite the IRGC Navy's warnings, they attempted to pass through the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz, which the Islamic Republic calls an "illegal route". The Navy of the Revolutionary Guards also wrote that this route is contaminated with sea mines and the owners and crews of the vessels are responsible for passing through it. That institution also asked the vessel to ignore what it called "Centcom's illusions in cyberspace." In this announcement it was stated that any provocative action with the support of the US military, which according to the Revolutionary Guards ignores the Strait of Hormuz regulations, will be met with determination.
