Iran reports oil tanker hit mine in Hormuz
Iranian media reported that a giant oil tanker collided with a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in an explosion and a fire on board. The tanker was carrying more than two million barrels of crude oil. Iran claimed that the vessel attempted to cross the strait without permission using deceptive maneuvers with the assistance of the U.S. military, asserting that the maritime passage is now blocked. The incident occurs amid escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, which remains a hot spot of conflict between Iran and the United States, where attacks on maritime traffic have become frequent amid threats and assaults since the outbreak of the war in Yemen. Independent verification of Iran’s account has not yet been provided, and neither the United States nor Britain have commented on the incident. The whereabouts and condition of the crew remain unclear.
