Army: Another offending oil tanker caught fire in the east of the Strait of Hormuz Another offending oil tanker caught fire after hitting a naval mine and stopped moving. This morning an offending oil tanker, which was traveling in the unsafe area east of the Strait of Hormuz, caught fire after hitting a naval mine and was stopped. Like other tankers that collided with sea mines and caught fire in recent days, this tanker turned off its detection and navigation systems. Navy public relations emphasized that a war with Iran has nothing but defeat; We inform the ship owners for the umpteenth time that the Strait of Hormuz is unsafe and closed to offending vessels intending to travel without coordination.
