The location of the incident was announced as the northernmost point of the Musandam Peninsula in Oman, and at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that in the late hours of last night, two oil tankers that intended to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and were prevented from moving.

According to the IRGC public relations announcement, the two oil tankers had been brought into this route “by provocation and coercion” by the U.S. Army. In this statement, the names of the ships, their nationality, and the crew’s condition were not mentioned.

In the same statement, the IRGC said that as long as the U.S. attacks in the region continue, this route would not be safe for “even a drop of oil and gas,” and the U.S. Army must be ready for “punitive operations.”
