Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) navy released footage after it claimed three oil tankers exploded and caught fire after hitting a naval mine in the southern Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours. According to the IRGC Navy, the tankers attempted to cross an unauthorized lane despite warnings and turned off their radar and navigation systems. The force claimed that the vessels remained stranded along the southern shore of the strait and warned that the route was contaminated with mines.
