IRGC Says Two Oil Tankers EXPLODED After Hitting Naval Mines in Hormuz Amid US Naval Blockade |Trump

The Strait of Hormuz remains a focal point of escalating U.S.-Iran tensions after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the strategic waterway. The IRGC alleged the vessels entered a mined area after being misled by U.S. intelligence and separately claimed it stopped four ships during a missile and drone operation. U.S. Central Command rejected the allegations, calling Iran's account false. No independent confirmation of the reported tanker explosions or ship interceptions has been provided. The competing claims highlight rising uncertainty over maritime security in one of the world's most critical energy corridors.
