Iran: Two tankers collide with mines in Hormuz as peace negotiations are underway

Two oil tankers collided with naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing peace negotiations between Iran and the U.S. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported that one tanker suffered significant damage and caught fire after deviating from authorized routes. This incident is part of a series of maritime confrontations in the region, with Iran asserting control over the strategic passage. As negotiations continue indirectly through Qatar, 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. maintains a naval blockade and has increased sanctions against Iran, which insists on its own conditions for peace.
