Tehran reports fires on two tankers and a tugboat in the Strait of Hormuz

Iran reported that two oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, amid increased control over the strategic maritime passage. One tanker ignited after hitting a mine, while another was immobilized due to a fire, which also affected a nearby tugboat. Tehran has been enforcing restrictions on maritime traffic in the area, leading to U.S. sanctions on Iranian ports. Additionally, Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed control over two drones in its airspace. Oil prices fell below $100 per barrel following U.S. midterm elections, impacting Trump's approach to Iran.
