According to Iranian media outlet Fars News, the Iranian Army and Navy stated that early this morning local time, an oil tanker ignored prior warnings and entered the dangerous no-navigation zone east of the Strait of Hormuz after disabling its ship tracking and identification systems. It subsequently struck a mine, caught fire, and ceased navigation.
The Iranian Navy stated that any oil tanker illegally entering the no-navigation zone east of the Strait of Hormuz will inevitably encounter mines and catch fire.
The Iranian Navy also stated that the tanker owner failed to learn from the experiences of other offending vessels, instead blindly trusting the US President's false statements and sending his assets into a minefield, ultimately resulting in their destruction and destruction. This is regrettable.
