American Navy 'Watches Helplessly' As Iran BLOWS UP 2 Ships With 4 Million Barrels Of Oil In Hormuz

More than four million barrels of oil are now burning aboard two supertankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran says what happened was no accident without a warning. The IRGC says both vessels repeatedly ignored orders to stay away from a route Tehran has declared unsafe and unauthorised, before massive explosions disabled them overnight. The statement comes from the IRGC Navy's public relations office, which says both vessels were supertankers carrying a combined cargo of more than four million barrels of oil. According to the IRGC, the ships attempted to cross through what Tehran calls the unauthorised southern route of the Strait of Hormuz. #StraitOfHormuz #OilTanker #NavalMine #Iran #IranNavy #PersianGulf #HormuzCrisis #MaritimeSecurity #OilShipping #MiddleEastTensions #GlobalOil #ShippingNews Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
