Two tankers collide with mines in Hormuz

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps reported two oil tankers collided with naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, amid ongoing indirect negotiations between Iran and the U.S. through Qatar. The incident involved a supertanker that caught fire after a significant explosion. The IRGC claimed the tankers were attempting to navigate clandestinely with U.S. military support. In recent weeks, Iran has experienced around 30 maritime incidents, with many linked to naval mines. As tensions rise, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened further military action against Iran, while Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei warned of consequences for any new attacks. The U.S. continues its naval blockade and sanctions against Iran, demanding compliance with its terms for a potential agreement.
