Oil tanker hits mine in Hormuz
An oil tanker was hit by a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz after veering off the designated route set by Iran, according to military sources, amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States. The incident occurred just an hour after another tanker was struck by an unknown object in the southern Red Sea. Iran announced that the strait remains closed and that ships must pass through according to the routes specified by Tehran. Threats have heightened following the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's July statement that three oil ships attempted to traverse the mined area, one of which exploded, causing the other two ships to change their course.
