The Iranian Navy said its forces had contacted and disabled at least 11 commercial tankers attempting unauthorized transit through the Strait of Hormuz over the past 10 days.
A report on naval operations published by Tasnim confirmed that Iranian forces had completely disabled the tankers' power plants and their electronic navigation systems.
The announcement followed reports from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that reported severe fires and explosions aboard several ships that did not follow the rules of navigation in the area, including three ships that attempted to circumvent Gulf maritime protocols on Sunday.
