The Revolutionary Guards: Two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz "stopped due to an explosion".

The IRGC Navy says two "offensive" oil tankers were stopped after an "explosion and fire" while passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC navy's public relations announcement states that one of these ships is a "supertanker" that hit a mine.

According to this announcement, "the second oil tanker, which was about to pass secretly through the illegal route with the support of the warplanes of the invading American army, was stopped in its place by an explosion and a huge fire."

The Revolutionary Guards say both vessels turned off their navigation and identification systems.

Iran insists that ships must pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and calls vessels that pass through other routes "violators."
