The I.R.G.C-Navy announced in the last 24 hours, 3 violating tankers were struck with sea mines while attempting to pass through the unauthorized illegal southern route of the Strait of Hormoz.

The ships suffered explosions and caught fire before being abandoned off the strait’s southern coast.

The tankers had switched off all their AIS systems, and ignored warnings from the I.R.G.C Navy.

The I.R.G.C says ships should not be misled by CENTCOM’s claims on social media.

The reality will be determined on the ground.
