Iran: Two oil tankers hit mines in the Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that two oil tankers hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz.

In the written statement of the Revolutionary Guard Army, it was stated that two oil tankers tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz by turning off their tracking systems and hit a mine while cruising.

In the statement, it was noted that after hitting the mine, a fire broke out on the ships and both tankers could not continue their sailing.

The statement warned that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed unless the seven conditions put forward by Iran were implemented, and emphasized that similar incidents would continue if ships tried to pass through the mined area under the pressure of the USA.

Speaking to the semi-official news agency Defapress, known for its closeness to the Revolutionary Guards Army, Iranian Army Spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammed Ekreminiya warned the US administration.

Reminding that the USA, in addition to its military presence in the region, also has bases outside Southwest Asia and has deployed forces to these points, Brigadier General Ekreminiya stated that a possible military operation would be responded to.

Ekreminiya said, "In case of attack, the Iranian Armed Forces will attack all material and moral targets belonging to the United States, without recognizing geographical borders."
