Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced! 'Super tanker hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz'

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that a super tanker trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz hit a naval mine and an explosion occurred in the ship's engine room after the impact.

In the statement made by the Revolutionary Guard Army, it was stated that a ship called "super tanker" because it has the capacity to carry approximately 2 million barrels of oil tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz by turning off its navigation systems.

In the statement, it was stated that the tanker hit a sea mine and an explosion occurred in the engine room.

Pointing out that three oil tankers have hit sea mines since yesterday, the statement included a warning that ships that turn off the navigation system in the Strait of Hormuz will be considered "enemy ships".

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

The Tehran administration had threatened that it would target ships that "pass without permission" and outside the route determined by Iran.
