Iranian authorities reported that a supertanker sustained damage after striking mines in the Strait of Hormuz region. The incident was confirmed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which is the military force responsible for naval security in the area.
The Revolutionary Guard did not disclose information about the flag of the ship involved in the collision, nor did it confirm whether there were any casualties in the incident. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic region through which a large portion of the world's oil production passes, frequently serving as a stage for geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf region.
