Fires and explosions hit tankers and ships in Hormuz

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Several maritime incidents in the Strait of Hormuz reportedly involved fires and explosions on board ships and oil tankers. Iranian officials have alleged that naval mines are present and questioned a US announcement that mines had been cleared from the main shipping routes.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman's Musandam peninsula, and one of the world's most important routes for oil exports from the Gulf.
