The Iranian Navy said on the 29th that an illegal tanker hit a mine east of the Strait of Hormuz, causing the hull to be damaged and caught fire, and then forced to stop sailing. The Iranian Navy issued a statement on its website saying that this uncoordinated navigation through high-risk areas has and will continue to pose a serious threat to the safety of the ship and its crew. The Iranian Navy stressed that the Strait of Hormuz prohibits the passage of uncoordinated ships trying to cross the prohibited and dangerous zones.
