Iran’s IRGC Navy Says Two Tankers ‘Exploded’ After Hitting Mines in Hormuz
The maritime security agency said all crew were accounted for and advised vessels in the area to transit with caution while investigators assess the incident.
- Two oil tankers struck naval mines while traveling an "unauthorized route" in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy reported, causing explosions that immobilized both vessels and ignited one.
- Iran has enforced strict transit restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz since the conflict began in February, attacking vessels it claims violate navigation regulations to assert control over the strategic waterway.
- The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations issued a security alert after a merchant vessel reported being struck by an "unknown projectile," though it remains unclear whether this incident links to the IRGC Navy report.
- Following the explosions, both vessels remain immobilized, while the IRGC Navy warned that any "provocative action" in surveillance areas will be met with a "decisive and proportionate response."
- The IRGC accused the two tankers of disabling navigation systems to transit clandestinely with alleged U.S. military support, part of a broader pattern of maritime incidents since the conflict began.
