The Public Relations Department of the Naval Forces of the Iranian Army: Hours ago, an illegal oil tanker, which tried to cross a prohibited and unsafe area in the east of the Strait of Hormuz after stopping its surveillance systems, collided with sea mines, which led to damage and fire. The Strait of Hormuz is not safe and is closed to illegal ships and vessels trying to pass without coordination. To ensure safe passage, these ships and vessels must make the necessary coordination with the Iranian armed forces.
