Fars Agency: Explosions Follow Tanker-Mine Collisions in Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Fars News Agency reported strong explosions in the southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz after oil tankers collided with mines, with some ships described as "violating" the crossing of the strait without Tehran's permission. The Revolutionary Guard confirmed that the presence of external forces in the region within the strait is unacceptable and that they intend to close the "illegal" routes that do not comply with Iran. In response, the US Central Command denied reports of closing the strait or taking full control of it, clarifying that maritime navigation continues and that oil supplies have returned to their pre-escalation levels amid the ongoing tension between Washington and Tehran.
