According to a statement from the public relations department of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, several hours ago, a liquefied gas carrier ignored multiple warnings and attempted to navigate an unauthorized and dangerous channel in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz, subsequently striking a mine and causing a violent explosion.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy stated that Iran will manage the Strait of Hormuz comprehensively and firmly. Any vessel attempting to violate Iranian regulations regarding the strait, ignoring warnings from the Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy's Strait of Hormuz traffic control center, and illegally entering an unauthorized and dangerous channel will suffer the same fate as previous offenders.
