Iran: 2 oil tankers in Strait of Hormuz have exploded <— FAKE NEWS
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | July 20th, 2026 | Ryan Mancini

Posted on 07/20/2026 11:16:02 AM PDT by Mariner

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Monday said two "deviant" oil tankers exploded after passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC said the ships exploded after they tried to enter and exit the strait through an "unsafe route," according to the state-run Fars News Agency. The outlet added that the tankers were "instigated and forced by the United States" to enter the strait and violate the designated routes through the crucial waterway.

"If they break their oaths after their covenant and attack your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief; indeed, they have no oaths; perhaps they will cease," the IRGC said in its statement, quoting the Quran.

The IRGC added that "this is our land" and that the "terrorist American army from thousands of kilometers away has no legal legitimacy and will definitely be confronted."

Gee, just 2 months ago POTUS told us he had obtained "unconditional surrender" from Iran.

We've done Iran's bidding for almost 50 years.

Finally, we have a President willing to take on this monster.

I feel safe saying that Trump felt some pressure from countries in the region to give Iran every opportunity to cooperate. He did just that. Now he has the green light to take care of business.

They said one thing and did another. That’s on them.

“Finally, we have a President willing to take on this monster. “

I’ll believe it when we see the 900lbs of 60% U-235, and Hormuz open to all.

So far he has not demonstrated the resolve to achieve either of those goals.

“For the record, I announced my support for Trump on this site in May of 2015.

And have not wavered since”

Seems like you’re wavering....

Just checked CENTCOM’s X feed.

Nothing about this there.

Airspace closure. Terrain transit stopped. Port access ended. The IRCG is still being supplied with material, weapons, and food by others.

Yeah!

We really have the 70%-to-88% of the Iranian population that opposes the current regime and wishes to transition away from the Islamic Republic on the run! LINK

Iran speaks with multiple heads. If you pick a particular one, it will say whatever you want it to say.

This isn't done until the Republican Guard is wiped out.
