> The supertankers carried more than four million barrels of crude combined; the navy said they ignored warnings about a route it called the “southern route.”

On Nov. 12, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said two supertankers stopped sailing after explosions in the Strait of Hormuz the previous night, carrying more than four million barrels of crude oil combined.

The navy said it had repeatedly warned the ships that a route it called the “southern route” was illegal and unsafe. It said the tankers ignored those warnings.
