The navy of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said Friday that a liquefied gas carrier caught fire earlier in the day after hitting naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Ignoring repeated warnings from the Iranian side, the tanker attempted to pass through an unauthorized route in the southern part of the strait, where it hit mines and triggered a violent explosion, said a statement from the public relations department of the IRGC Navy.

The statement said Iran will firmly and rigorously manage and control the Strait of Hormuz, and that any vessel attempting to violate Iran's regulations on the strait, ignore warnings from the IRGC Navy, and enter unauthorized and hazardous waterways will face the same fate.
