Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy issued a warning to ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz regarding the necessity of complying with its transit rules, following reports that a supertanker struck two naval mines and caught fire.

The Navy of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned ships navigating through the Strait of Hormuz about the necessity of complying with its transit rules, after declaring that a "rogue" supertanker struck two naval mines and was consumed by a large fire.

Furthermore, the IRGC naval force emphasized in a statement that navigation through this strategic waterway, which accounts for a significant portion of the world's oil, must be conducted solely in accordance with the routes and protocols established by the agency itself.

The organization warned shipping companies not to be "misled by the provocations of the U.S. military," noting that "it is mandatory to comply with the rules issued by the IRGC Navy for transit and navigation." According to the organization, failure to comply puts both the vessels and the lives of their crew members at risk of being "destroyed."

On the other hand, a supertanker came to a complete halt after colliding with two naval mines in the southern zone of the Strait of Hormuz and catching fire.

The IRGC stated that the vessel was attempting to cross the waterway illegally, but did not disclose information regarding its crew nor reveal the name of the ship.

Tasnim reports that Iranian forces bombarded the Al Minhad base, located in the United Arab Emirates, targeting positions of U.S. helicopters and troops during their retaliation from Sunday into Monday.

Hours after United States forces bombarded the Iranian island of Larak, resulting in fatalities and injuries, the drone attack was carried out.
