In a statement, the IRGC Navy said the vessels had switched off their radar and positioning systems while attempting to transit the strait through a route not authorized by Iranian authorities. It added that one of the tankers was a supertanker.
The force warned shipowners and shipping companies against transiting the Strait of Hormuz without coordination with its traffic control center or disregarding the arrangements announced by Iran for passage through the strategic waterway.
