Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy announced three oil tankers struck naval mines while attempting to pass through an unauthorized southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours, causing explosions and fires that left the vessels stranded off the southern coast of the Straits. The Revolutionary Guards said the tankers disabled their radar and navigation systems and ignored repeated warnings before entering the mined waters.
