The Revolutionary Guards announced on Friday that two oil tankers had to stop in the southern waters of the Strait of Hormuz following an incident, while trying to navigate an unauthorized route. According to the report, the two vessels turned off their navigation systems and attempted to exit through the unauthorized passage with the support of the US military. According to the Revolutionary Guards, the tankers ignored several radio warnings before entering an unsafe area and were involved in an incident that brought them to a stop off the southern coast of the straits. They added that the two vessels caught fire as a result of the US military's actions and its disregard for Iranian regulations governing navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
