Two more ships on fire in the Strait of Hormuz

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported that two oil tankers caught fire after hitting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a key conflict area with the U.S. The vessels were allegedly attempting to cross unauthorized routes with U.S. military support. This incident follows a series of similar claims by Iran, which asserts control over the strait, vital for global oil transport. The U.S. has conducted mine-clearing operations in the area and claims to have assisted Gulf nations in exporting oil despite Iranian blockades. However, Iranian media reports of vessels hitting mines have been disputed by U.S. Central Command, which labeled them false.
