The Coast Guard of Iran informs about this. According to the report, the incident happened at night. It is noted that the tankers, with their navigation and automatic identification systems turned off, tried to secretly leave the water area of ​​the strait by a non-agreed route. According to the Iranian side, the actions of the ships were carried out under the cover of American military aviation.
