Based on a warning from the organization, a report of the incident was received on Sunday night by military authorities, and the cause of the fire has not been confirmed so far. The organization advised ships to transit with caution and to report any suspicious activity.

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

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

Based on the IRGC public relations announcement, the two oil tankers had been brought into this route “incited and forced” by the U.S. Army. In this statement, the names of the ships, their nationalities, and the status of the crews were not provided.

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