In the waters of the Strait of Hormuz continue to die oil tankers

Press TV, citing data from the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, reported on the explosion of sea mines and the subsequent fire of two tankers in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

The publication of the Iranian broadcaster in the Telegram channel clarifies that both ships, ignoring the established ban, exploded on mines and caught fire in the region.

The Strait of Hormuz is traditionally considered one of the most important transport arteries providing the world supply of oil and liquefied natural gas. Maritime traffic in the area was severely restricted after the US and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. The Tehran authorities said they are ready to maintain these restrictions until the conditions they put forward are fully met, including the lifting of the American blockade and sanctions pressure.

Despite the fact that some ships continue to pass through this water area, the overall intensity of sea traffic remains significantly lower than before the armed confrontation.
