Revolutionary Guard Announces Explosion on a Ship After Hitting a Mine in the Strait of Hormuz

Al-Taj News – The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced on Friday that an explosion occurred on a liquefied gas carrier after it hit a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, which lies at the heart of the confrontation between the United States and Iran.

Iran has imposed strict restrictions on transit traffic through the strategic strait for energy supplies, since the beginning of the American-Israeli war on it in February. Tehran says it controls the strait, and regularly targets ships in it that do not follow the route it designated along its coasts.
