The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy has released footage of two oil tankers involved in the incident in the Strait of Hormuz, saying both ships suffered heavy explosions and had to stop.
According to the Public Relations Office of the Revolutionary Guards, the supertankers together carried more than four million barrels of oil and attempted to pass through the strait through an unauthorized southern route despite repeated warnings from the Maritime Traffic Control Center.
The Navy warned that "any vessel that turns off its navigation systems in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and cooperates with the US military in the unauthorized southern route will meet the same fate. ".
