Two other oil tankers catch fire in the Strait of Hormuz Tehran, IRNA -. The Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that two oil tankers that violated maritime regulations, one east of the Strait of Hormuz and the other inside the Strait, were stopped after hitting a mine while trying to navigate an unauthorized route. In a statement on Friday, the IRGC's public relations office said the two tankers turned off all their navigation and identification systems and tried to exit the Strait of Hormuz through an unauthorized route with the support of the US terror army. However, the message said that after hitting a mine, the vessels caught fire and stopped in the strait.
He added that the IRGC Navy continues to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed, with no expected change until all seven conditions are met.
CENTCOM's efforts to push oil tankers through unauthorized, mine-contaminated waters, she said, will only cause more humiliating failures.
