The public relations of the naval force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced today, Saturday, the explosion of a second giant oil tanker after it collided with a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz.

The public relations stated in a statement received by the news video agency that a second giant oil tanker from the violating ships caught huge fire this morning after colliding with a naval mine.

It added that the giant oil tanker was loaded with more than two million barrels of crude oil and attempted to mislead the aggressive U.S. military by crossing through an illegal route after turning off all its tracking systems and radar devices; however, its collision with the naval mine resulted in a massive explosion in the engine room, causing the violating ship to stop in its place.
