Vessel reported on fire in Strait of Hormuz, crew status unknown, UKMTO says
What happened
Iran's armed forces said four tankers caught fire after hitting mines in or near the Strait of Hormuz, one day after the US military said it had cleared key routes.
Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi disputed the US mine-clearing claim and demanded independent evidence; US Central Command has insisted all mines in primary transit routes are cleared.
“Prove your Hormuz mine-clearing claim with independent evidence, not statements!”
