July 14 (Reuters) - Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Tuesday said two "offending supertankers" have been hit and disabled in the Strait of Hormuz after the ships ignored warnings, turned off navigation systems and attempted to pass through "a mined route", Iranian media reported citing a statement from the Guards.

The Guards, in its statement to Iranian media, said the U.S. was "inciting vessels to use an illegal route" and that cooperation with the "aggressor enemy" would result in damage, delays in reopening the strait and a global energy crisis.
