They might well do just that, however at that point some controlled demolition would clear out the highest part of the debris, the tankers' superstructure, and perhaps even clear a deeper channel depending on the type/quantity of explosives. :) I believe the deepest draft supertanker "only" draws 29 meters max in those waters so there's some draft to play with to get them thru.
I'd be more concerned about mines and missiles from nearby Abu Musa, Greater Tunb Island, and Lesser Tunb Islands.
