Iran's navy and state media reported that an oil tanker, allegedly violating regulations, caught fire after hitting mines east of the Hormuz Strait. The tanker had reportedly turned off its tracking systems and attempted to pass through a restricted and unsafe area. The incident comes amid ongoing tensions in the region and follows a rare flyover by a US military commander. Iran claims the strait remains unsafe for vessels without proper coordination.
