🔶 The Revolutionary Guards announced the burning of an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
On Monday, November 2, Iranian media reported that an oil tanker caught fire after a mine hit the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, the command office of the Revolutionary Guards Navy claimed on Channel X that 11 "attacking oil tankers" were targeted and set on fire in the Strait of Hormuz in the last 9 days. Until the publication of this news, no further details were given about the identity of the oil tanker that caught fire, the amount of possible damage and the fate of the crew.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the most important strategic passages for the transfer of oil in the world, and any security incident in this waterway can affect maritime transport and the global energy market. Iran and America both claim to control the Strait of Hormuz.
