Giant tanker hit a mine in Hormuz

While negotiations between the USA and Iran were carried out through intermediaries, the Strait of Hormuz, which was under double blockade, became active again.

Iranian Revolutionary Guards announced that an explosion occurred on a super tanker that was trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without permission. It was stated that the giant oil tanker, which was carrying crude oil and violated the rules, hit a sea mine on the route that was previously declared unsafe.

It was stated that a large-scale fire broke out after a violent explosion occurred on the ship. The extent of the fire on the giant ship drew attention in the shared images.

Information about who the tanker belonged to was not shared, but a few hours before the incident, the United Arab Emirates coast guard announced that a fire broke out on a tanker in the Gulf and 22 crew members were rescued upon a distress signal.
