Iran’s IRGC says two tankers and tugboat caught fire in Strait of Hormuz

Il Corpo delle Guardie Rivoluzionarie Islamiche (IRGC) iraniano afferma che due petroliere e un rimorchiatore hanno preso fuoco nello Stretto di Hormuz


Nov 5 (Reuters) - Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Thursday that two oil tankers and a tugboat had caught fire in separate incidents after attempting to use unauthorised routes through the Strait of Hormuz.

One tanker struck a mine while attempting to cross a passage south of the strait, while another supertanker caught fire while exiting the route in the eastern part of the waterway, the IRGC said. A tugboat that approached the second vessel to help extinguish the fire also caught fire.
