Un superpetrolier, încărcat cu peste 2.000.000 de barili de țiței, s-a scufundat în Golf, anunță Gărzile Revoluționare ale Iranului

An Iranian supertanker carrying over 2 million barrels of oil sank after hitting a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the IRGC. This incident follows increased tensions in the region, with Iran restricting traffic through this strategic waterway. The U.S. has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and assisted tankers in navigating the strait. The IRGC reported that two tankers struck mines, leading to explosions and a fire, but independent confirmation of these events is lacking. Recent weeks have seen multiple similar incidents reported by Iran, raising concerns about maritime safety in the area.
