The naval forces of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said two tankers struck mines and caught fire in the area of the Strait of Hormuz. According to the IRGC, one of the vessels was east of the strait and the other in the strait itself, and they had switched off their navigation systems while trying to pass along a route not authorized by Tehran. The IRGC warned that ships cooperating with the US military face the same danger.
