The occurrence of an accident of a criminal oil tanker in the east of the Strait of Hormuz Public relations of the Navy: an oil tanker in the forbidden and unsafe area east of the Strait of Hormuz had an accident and caught fire due to being hit by a naval mine. This tanker has turned off its navigation systems. Oil tanker owners should take a lesson from the fate of offending vessels that intend to pass through the prohibited areas by turning off their detection systems, because the consequences of uncoordinated movement in high-risk areas are collisions with sea mines and fires.
