Syntakom denies mines hit ships in Hormuz
Central Command (Centcom) of the United States has confirmed the accuracy of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's (IRGC) announcement regarding a oil tanker catching fire after colliding with two mines in the Strait of Hormuz. It emphasized that there were no injuries or mine collisions. An Iranian news agency reported that the IRGC stated the tanker was attempting to pass through an illegal route and suffered a major fire following its collision with maritime mines. These events come at a time when both the American and Iranian sides are exchanging attacks for the first time since late July, with Iran launching missiles at U.S. targets in Jordan in response to an attack on Iranian platforms in Larak Island, amidst escalating tensions in the vital Strait of Hormuz for global trade traffic.
