Iran Claims Three Tankers Caught Fire Near Hormuz Strait
Iranian reports say oil tankers caught fire near the Strait of Hormuz, with the navy attributing one fire east of the strait to a sea-mine strike and saying the vessel had turned off its identification systems and entered a restricted area. Separately, the IRGC Navy claimed three tankers caught fire while taking an unauthorized route with U.S. military support. Iranian authorities said they were responding to the incident; the reports provide differing accounts of the number of vessels involved.
