iran The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said today that a ship was carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG).strait of hormuz (Strait of Hormuz) When the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz tried to cross an unauthorized channel in the southern part of the Strait, it triggered a mine and exploded violently.
Agence France-Presse reported that the Iranian military has reported several times in recent weeks that ships in the Strait of Hormuz have caught fire or exploded, often due to mine attacks; However, the US military claims to have completely cleared mines from several major waterways in the strait. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps did not provide the name and registration of the ship that exploded today.
Since the Middle East war began in late February this year, Iran has been trying to control the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping channel, insisting that ships must seek its permission to pass, and attacking ships that do not follow rules. The United States has imposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports and provided military assistance to oil tankers trying to pass through the strait.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also said late last night that its troops attacked an early warning radar system deployed by the United States in Persian Gulf ally Bahrain. However, this news has not been confirmed by the United States or Bahrain.
