IRGC claims two tankers hit by mines in Strait of Hormuz, halting transit
Published 1 d ago4 sourcesEvidence: Reported
Iranian state agency Tasnim reports that explosions heard on Qeshm island were not caused by an attack, attributing them to activity in the Strait of Hormuz. The claim is unverified and contradicts earlier reports of possible strikes, raising uncertainty about the situation in a critical maritime chokepoint. This matters because any escalation near Hormuz could disrupt global oil transit and heighten regional tensions.

The US military conducted strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island, targeting air defense facilities near Suza.
