Iran container ship Bahram sinks after mine hit
An Iranian container ship sank south of the Strait of Hormuz after colliding with a sea mine and catching fire on board. The ship was carrying over 2,500 containers and was traveling along an unauthorized and dangerous route, according to a statement from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Several oil tankers have been targeted in recent days due to Iranian mines scattered in the Strait. Western sources estimate that Iran has planted around 80 mines in commercial shipping lanes, and possess approximately 6,000 sea mines that could lead to a catastrophic crisis for global trade.
