Strait of Hormuz: Multiple Tankers Struck by Mines, IRGC Claims

Multiple Iranian sources, including the IRGC Navy and Iranian Navy, claim that between two and four oil tankers have struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. While the Iranian Navy partially confirmed one incident involving an oil tanker striking a naval mine, details regarding the number of vessels, specific locations, and the cause remain largely unverified. The IRGC consistently alleges the vessels were using 'unauthorized routes' and had navigation systems off.
