Iranian Revolutionary Guard: Two explosions occurred in two giant oil tankers that crossed the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed that two oil tankers were subjected to “two massive explosions” while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, and claimed that they were carrying “4 million barrels of oil,” according to what was reported by the semi-official Iranian “Tasnim” agency on Thursday. The Public Relations of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Naval Force said in a statement on Thursday that the two tankers were crossing the southern route in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran considers “not permitted.”

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that the two explosions occurred on the two tankers last night. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed that the two tankers were "super-large oil tankers and carried a total of more than 4 million barrels of oil," according to the agency.

The Revolutionary Guard said in the statement: “Every ship in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz that turns off its navigation systems and cooperates with the US military smugglers in crossing through the unauthorized southern route in the Strait of Hormuz will have an end like this,” according to what the agency reported. The last report published by the British Maritime Trade Operations Authority on Wednesday morning was about an incident involving an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, while it did not announce any other incident on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
