Strait of Hormuz: (RightNow). Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims two oil tankers collided with mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The collision caused explosions, igniting fires on the tankers.

Iranian officials further stated that US intelligence attempted to deceive tankers into passing through mined areas. The Revolutionary Guard warned sailors to avoid these regions.

The US Central Command dismissed the Revolutionary Guard’s claims as false. Iran also reported intercepting 4 ships during missile and drone operations.

This incident could impact global energy prices as the Strait of Hormuz is a key trade route. Iran has imposed strict restrictions in the strait.

It is noteworthy that the US has reimposed naval blockades on Iranian ports. Tensions between Iran and the US could affect the global energy market.
