Revolutionary Guards: A fire broke out in two oil tankers and a towing tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, and two American Lucas drones were captured. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that a large oil tanker attempting to cross the illegal crossing south of the Strait of Hormuz was involved in an accident after it collided with a naval mine, which led to a fire breaking out and stopping it. Another huge oil tanker stopped on its way out of the Eastern Strait after a large fire broke out on board, while a tugboat approaching it caught fire to help put out the fire. In a related context, fighters from the Revolutionary Guards Marine Electronic Warfare Unit were able to take control of two U.S. Lucas drones, control them, and land them safely, before capturing them. The Revolutionary Guards stated that the United States, by forcing ships to violate orders and pass through a corridor planted with mines, is burdening American taxpayers and its allies in the region with high insurance costs for the damaged ships. The Revolutionary Guards concluded that attempts to break the laws in the Strait of Hormuz would only lead to more financial losses and political defeats for the United States.
