A supertanker explosion hits the south of the Strait of Hormuz.

Public Relations of the Revolutionary Guards Navy:

An offending supertanker exploded and caught fire after hitting a naval mine in the southern Strait of Hormuz.

This supertanker carrying more than 2 million barrels of crude turned off all its radar and navigation systems and was trying to exit the illegal southern Strait of Hormuz, ignoring warnings from the Revolutionary Guard's navy, when it exploded after hitting a naval mine.

The Revolutionary Guards Navy announces: The owners and crews of vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ​​Oman are responsible for crossing unauthorized lanes, and any movement that ignores the security of this strait will be dealt with decisively.
