伊朗伊斯兰共和国通讯社援引伊斯兰革命卫队海军的话报道称：“两艘违规油轮……试图通过霍尔木兹海峡的一条禁航路线时触雷，发生爆炸并起火。”路透社无法立即核实这些报道。
"Two violating tankers ... were attempting to slip through a prohibited route in the Strait of Hormuz when they hit naval mines, exploded, and burst into flames," Iran's IRNA news agency quoted the Revolutionary Guards Navy as saying about the evening incident. Reuters could not immediately verify the reports.
伊朗对寻求通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只实施了限制，并袭击了其称违反这些限制的船只，以期在该战略水道上确立控制权并向美国施压。
Iran has imposed restrictions on vessels seeking to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and has attacked ships it says violated those restrictions, as it seeks to assert control over the strategic waterway and exert pressure on the US.
