Iran: The Revolutionary Guards Navy says three oil tankers exploded and burned in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting sea mines. The Revolutionary Guards Navy said the tankers turned off their navigation and identification systems, used unauthorized routes through the strait, and were abandoned on its southern shores, where they are still burning. Flames illuminated the eastern part of the strait. The Navy also said the vessels ignored Iranian regulations, communicated through radio and naval messages, and cooperated with the U.S. military to use those lanes.
