In a written statement from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, it was reported that a fire broke out after an oil tanker hit a sea mine in the southern region of the Strait of Hormuz. It was claimed that the ship, which allegedly violated the rules set by Iran, had turned off all positioning and navigation systems from the point it set off, and this accident occurred while it was trying to pass through the unauthorized route in the south without considering the rules of the Strait. The statement included the expressions, "Strict intervention will be made against ships navigating in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf if they turn off their navigation and identification systems."
