The burning of the offending tanker after hitting a mine in the eastern Strait of Hormuz The Navy: A few hours ago, a criminal oil tanker that tried to cross the forbidden and unsafe area in the eastern Strait of Hormuz by turning off its surveillance systems, hit naval mines and suffered damage and fire.
