Explosions Hit Two Tankers Carrying 4 Million Barrels in Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said explosions struck two oil tankers carrying more than 4 million barrels of oil as they attempted to cross a restricted area south of the Strait of Hormuz. The explosions reportedly occurred last night despite prior warnings. The IRGC warned that any vessel switching off its navigation systems and cooperating with the US military to use the unauthorized southern route would face the same fate.
