Two more tankers are on fire east of the Strait of Hormuz Tehran, IRNA -. The Iranian Navy announced that two more offensive oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines east of the Strait of Hormuz. The incidents were reportedly caused by the tankers ignoring marine warnings and entering restricted waters without prior coordination on Thursday afternoon.
In the early hours of the day, another offending oil tanker caught fire after hitting a naval mine while passing through an unsafe area east of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian Navy once again warned the tanker owners that the Strait of Hormuz is unsafe and closed to offending vessels that intend to pass without coordination. "A war with Iran yields nothing but defeat," it read again.
