video | Two more tankers explode in the Strait of Hormuz after the Revolutionary Guards' warnings were ignored.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy announced on November 12 that two more oil tankers that together carried more than four million barrels of oil were rocked by a massive explosion during the night while trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz through an unauthorized southern route, despite repeated warnings from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Center for the Control of Prohibited and Unsafe Maritime Traffic.
Both vessels were stopped and caught fire, with the Revolutionary Guards declaring that they were now "burning with the fire of their trust in the marauding and aggressor US military." ".
The Revolutionary Guard warned that any vessel in the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz that turned off its navigation systems and cooperated with what it called the "smuggler US military" to cross the unauthorized southern route "will meet the same fate. ".
