Iranian Guard Claims Mines Set Two Tankers Ablaze South of Hormuz

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Tuesday that mines laid by its navy set two oil tankers ablaze on a route south of the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping remains far below pre-conflict levels. The Guard said the tankers stopped after striking mines along a passage it called unauthorized. In a second statement Tuesday, the Guard said a mine ignited a supertanker south of the strait with more than 2 million barrels of crude oil aboard. The Guard named no vessels in either statement.
