Oil tanker burning near Strait of Hormuz
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that a fire broke out on an oil tanker after it was struck by an explosion while attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which is entirely controlled by Iran, following a mine incident. They confirmed that the strait is closed to all ships unless they follow official Iranian procedures, warning against any uncoordinated behavior with Tehran. These developments come amid an Iranian escalation against the militarization of the region, while the United States continues to target Iranian facilities in the Gulf and other areas, leading to heightened tensions between the two sides.
