Seven tankers were on fire in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran speaks of an attack and mines

Seven oil tankers were damaged in the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly due to attacks by Iranian forces or mines. This incident marks the highest number of tankers affected in a single day since February. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for attacking four tankers without consent, while three others hit naval mines. The situation raises concerns about escalating conflict, especially with U.S. elections approaching. President Trump hinted at imminent developments regarding Iran, stating negotiations are not ongoing. Meanwhile, tensions remain high over the Strait and Iran's nuclear program, complicating diplomatic efforts.
