Yesterday afternoon, the fourth tanker suffered a strong explosion after colliding with a mine, despite the warnings of the Revolutionary Guards Navy that crossing the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz is prohibited. This tanker, carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude oil, also ignored the Revolutionary Guards' navy radio warnings and tried to exit the strait along the forbidden southern lane.
