Two oil tankers exploded on sea mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz

The naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), part of the armed forces of Iran, reported the fact of detonation of two tankers on sea mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.
In an official statement, the press service of the IRGC clarifies that about an hour earlier, two ships attempted to secretly follow an unauthorized southern route in the strait, as a result of which they were blown up by mines and caught fire.
Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was severely restricted after the US and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. Tehran announced its intention to maintain these restrictions until full compliance with its demands, including the lifting of the American blockade and sanctions pressure. Although individual vessels continue to pass through the waters, the overall traffic intensity remains well below pre-conflict levels.
The Strait of Hormuz is traditionally considered one of the key transport arteries providing the world supply of oil and liquefied natural gas.
