2 supertankers caught fire with a loud explosion while passing through an unauthorized passage in the Strait of Hormuz last night.

According to the statement issued by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy, the two supertankers were carrying more than 4 million barrels of oil. Both tankers ignored repeated warnings.

The Traffic Control Center had warned the tankers that the southern passage through the Strait of Hormuz was unauthorized and unsafe, but the vessels did not comply and now both vessels are on fire.

Security sources say that this is the second ship sunk near the Strait of Hormuz in 24 hours.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Navy has held the United States responsible for the incident, saying that these ships are burning because of trusting the looting and aggressive American military.
