BOOM! Oil Tankers Ignore IRGC Warning; 'BLOWS TO PIECES' After Striking DEADLY Mines In Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz is once again at the center of a dangerous escalation. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that two oil tankers exploded after attempting to cross a minefield in the southern Strait of Hormuz, accusing U.S. intelligence of directing the vessels into the area. However, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has rejected the claim, calling it "false." As tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate, Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz "extremely unsafe" and warned that oil, gas, and chemical fertilizer exports will remain blocked until U.S. military operations end. The waterway, through which a significant share of the world's oil and LNG supplies pass, remains under intense pressure. #iran #us #straitofhormuz #hormuz #oiltanker #irgc #centcom #middleeast #iranuswar #oilcrisis #maritimesecurity #persiangulf #shippingcrisis #energycrisis Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
