Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reports two tankers on fire in Strait of Hormuz as talks continue

Iran's Revolutionary Guard reported two oil tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming they were navigating unauthorized routes. The Guard accused the vessels of disabling navigation systems and receiving U.S. military support. Concurrently, Qatari mediators returned to Tehran to negotiate an end to the U.S.-Iran conflict. In a separate incident, a tanker named Louise 1 was attacked with explosives, marking a significant escalation in maritime tensions. U.S. Central Command disputed Iranian claims about naval mines and asserted that shipping lanes were secure. Diplomatic efforts continue amid threats of renewed U.S. military action against Iran, with President Trump emphasizing the need for guarantees against Iran's nuclear ambitions.
