2 oil tankers carrying over 4 million barrels explode in Strait of Hormuz: Iran

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said two oil tankers exploded in Strait of Hormuz while transiting its southern waters, despite repeated warnings from its traffic control centre. Iran described the vessels as supertankers carrying a combined cargo of more than 4 million barrels of oil and accused them of cooperating with the US military, calling it a “smuggling army”.
