Two "offending ‌supertankers" were hit and disabled ‌in the Strait ‌of Hormuz after ‌they ignored ‌warnings, turned off navigation systems and attempted ⁠to ‌pass through "a mined route," Iranian media reported on Tuesday, citing a statement from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

In the statement, the IRGC said the ⁠US was "inciting vessels ⁠to ⁠use an illegal route" and that cooperation ‌with the "aggressor enemy" ‌would result ⁠in damage, delays in reopening the strait ⁠and a global energy crisis.
