The Revolutionary Guards announced that two tankers caught fire after striking mines while attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz outside the route designated by Iranian dforces.
In their statement, the Guard said that the two ships had asked the U.S. military to sail through an “illegal route” before “striking mines and exploding…and are currently on fire.” They had been forced to disembark their crews and had come under the control of U.S. agents, despite warnings from the Revolutionary Guards’ naval forces about the danger of traversing a mined route.
