Strait of Hormuz: Multiple Tankers Struck by Naval Mines

Multiple oil tankers have reportedly struck naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian sources claiming between two and three vessels were involved. The Iranian Navy and IRGC allege the tankers were operating on unauthorized routes and had navigation systems switched off. Confidence in the exact number of vessels and specific circumstances remains medium-low due to conflicting reports and the state-affiliated nature of the primary sources.
