The public relations of the Revolutionary Guards Navy announced that two oil tankers had an accident last night while passing through the southern Strait of Hormuz and were stopped by a "terrible explosion".
According to the Revolutionary Guards, the two ships were "super tankers" and carried "more than 4 million barrels" of oil in total.
According to this announcement, these tankers did not pay attention to "repeated warnings about the unauthorized and non-Yemeni route of the southern Strait of Hormuz".
Iran says that the ships should pass through the Strait of Hormuz on a route determined by this country.
According to reports, some ships and oil tankers are using an alternative route established to pass through the Strait of Hormuz to bypass the restrictions announced by Iran.
