The IRGC navy accused the tanker of having turned off its positioning and radar systems in an effort to evade detection.

A super tanker has caught fire after striking a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Saturday.

In a statement shared via Iranian state media, the IRGC’s navy said a tanker carrying more than two million barrels of oil struck a mine whilst “attempting to pass through an unauthorised route” in the Strait, causing a “massive explosion” and a “fierce fire.” It is unclear exactly where the incident took place.

    Even the “autopsy” was such wishy washy bullshit. I can’t believe hardcore Dems are still so disconnected and willfully ignorant about how bad they’ve been doing for decades before Trump.

    What’s unfortunate is that instead of changing their policies to align with what their base wants, they still try and do comparison politics.

    Like why not just fucking change their policies? They’re really waiting for things to get so bad that people vote for them out of desperation instead?
