An oil tanker exploded in the Strait of Hormuz after colliding with a naval mine, Iran's IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.
Tasnim said the tanker struck the mine after leaving the route designated by Iran in the strategic waterway.
There was no immediate official statement from Iranian authorities regarding the incident. |

The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: Trump has cancelled plans to sharply escalate the war on Iran over concerns that Iranian attacks could dangerously drain the Pentagon's already diminished stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors and other air defense munitions in the Middle East close to zero, per NYT.
The Pentagon has used more than 1,200 Patriot interceptors in the war at more than $4M each, with cheap Iranian drones and ballistic missiles depleting the US inventory. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine privately cautioned that resuming major combat operations would fully deplete interceptors available to US Central Command.
A senior US official adds that continued strikes have had "the opposite effect of what is intended, keeping Iran cohesive and allowing Iranian leaders to focus attention on an external threat." |
