In the early morning hours, three oil tankers navigating through an unauthorized corridor in the Strait of Hormuz caught fire following explosions.
Sea-news.az reports citing an official statement released on the website of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy.
The IRGC Navy attributed the incidents to the vessels deactivating their navigation and identification tracking systems, as well as operational maneuvers by the US military.
The IRGC Navy emphasized that navigation regulations established by Iran for transiting the Strait of Hormuz have been repeatedly communicated to all maritime entities. The statement warned that any vessels violating these guidelines and utilizing unapproved routes with the assistance of the US military will inevitably face a similar fate.
