Hot development in Hormuz! A fire broke out in an oil tanker that hit a mine

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy reported that an oil tanker, which allegedly violated the route and rules determined by Iran, hit a naval mine in the south of the Strait of Hormuz.

In the written statement made by the Revolutionary Guard Army, it was stated that an explosion and a fire occurred in the engine room as a result of the oil tanker hitting a sea mine in the region south of the Strait of Hormuz.

It was stated that the ship, which was claimed to have violated the rules set by Iran, turned off all positioning and navigation systems from the point of departure, and that this accident occurred while trying to pass through the unauthorized route in the south without taking into account the rules of the strait.

In the statement, it was noted that if ships sailing in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf turn off their navigation and identification systems, a harsh and decisive intervention will be made.

Iran announced that it closed the Strait of Hormuz again on July 12 after the USA started its attacks again on July 8.
