Revolutionary Guard Tanker Explosion Near Hormuz
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy announced an explosion on a giant oil tanker with a capacity of over two million barrels, following its collision with a sea mine south of the Strait of Hormuz. The statement indicated that the tanker attempted to pass through the strait via an unauthorized route and sank after the explosion, which occurred while its radar and navigation systems were shut down and it did not respond to warnings. Iran warned that it would respond firmly to any attempts to bypass security in the strait. It is unclear whether the damaged tanker is the same one previously seen on fire in the southern passage of the strait. These developments come after Iran partially closed the Strait of Hormuz and took escalation steps in response to the United States resuming its attacks in the region, along with threats to target vessels passing through the strait without permits.
