Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy:
A rogue super tanker hit a naval mine this afternoon in the southern area of the Strait of Hormuz, causing an explosion and fire in the engine room.
This ship, carrying crude oil, which was about to leave the Strait of Hormuz, turned off all its navigation systems and violated the rules of the Strait of Hormuz, and suffered this accident due to passing through an unauthorized route.
This is the third rogue tanker that has hit naval mines in the unauthorized route of the Strait of Hormuz since yesterday and has caught fire.
The IRGC Navy announces: All ships in the Strait of Hormuz that turn off their navigation and identification systems will be identified as hostile and will be dealt with severely and decisively.
