IRGC: Four Oil Tankers Destroyed by Mines Near Strait of Hormuz

The claim is unverified and may be part of Iranian information operations, but if confirmed, it marks a significant escalation in maritime conflict. Crude oil flows have dipped from recent highs, and the security situation threatens a key global chokepoint.
