Iranian Revolutionary Guard reports explosions on two more supertankers in the Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported that two supertankers carrying over 4.5 million barrels of crude oil hit naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, rendering them inoperable. The vessels were reportedly attempting to navigate unauthorized routes when they collided with the mines, leading to explosions and fires. The Guard noted an increase in maritime incidents, with at least 15 reported in the last ten days. The U.S. has claimed to restore maritime traffic in the region, while Iran maintains a blockade as a pressure tactic. Iranian military officials warned against U.S. military vessels entering the Persian Gulf, emphasizing their commitment to preventing such incursions.
