Iran's navy says tanker hit naval mine, caught fire in Strait of Hormuz after entering off-limits area

Iran's navy said on Saturday that an oil tanker struck a naval mine and caught fire in the eastern Strait of Hormuz after entering an area Tehran had declared off-limits, ignoring warnings and switching off its navigation systems. The Revolutionary Guard had earlier claimed two tankers hit mines and a third caught fire, with a tugboat also reported hit, per IRNA and UKMTO. Damage and cause remain independently unverified.
