🚨 Iran has struck a supertanker in the Strait of Hormuz, the third such incident over the past two days, the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian army) said.

“The third violator supertanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz this morning. The attack caused a fire on board,” it said, as cited by Iran’s state television.

According to the IRGC, the vessel was sailing with its navigation system off and trying to leave the waterway despite having ignored warnings, in “violation of the rules and security” in the area.
