An oil tanker caught fire after striking a naval minein the eastern Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, Iran’s Navy said, hours after theIslamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported similar incidents involvingtwo tankers and a tugboat.
In a statement carried by Iranian media, the Navy saidthe tanker had entered an “unsafe area” before hitting the mine and becomingimmobilized. It also claimed the vessel had disabled its identification andnavigation systems, as had other tankers reportedly struck by mines in recentdays.
Two oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire overnight, accordingto the IRGC, which said one tanker struck a mine along an “unauthorized route”in the southern strait, while another caught fire farther east, with flamesspreading to a tugboat that approached the second tanker to assist withfirefighting.
Neither the Navy nor the IRGC identified the vessels,disclosed their nationalities, or reported casualties. It remains unclearwhether the Navy’s announcement refers to a separate incident or one of thetankers previously reported by the IRGC.
