TEHRAN, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said two "offending supertankers" were hit and disabled in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian media reported Tuesday.

The tankers ignored warnings, turned off navigation systems and tried to pass through the "mined route," the IRGC said, adding that cooperation with "aggressor enemy" in the Strait of Hormuz will delay reopening of the waterway and create a global energy crisis. ■
