IRGC says tanker caught fire after hitting mines in Strait of Hormuz
A liquefied gas carrier caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting naval mines, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC said the vessel ignored warnings and attempted to navigate an unauthorised route through the waterway.
Iran claimed it struck US radar systems in Bahrain, while the US said it had intercepted the attacks. Clashes continue in the Strait of Hormuz, as the war remains in a state of de-escalation.
The vehicle was completely gutted in the fire. All six occupants, who were travelling to Guruvayur for a temple visit, managed to get out of the car before it was engulfed in flames, say police
IRGC claimed Bahrain radar strike was response to US attacks on Iranian telecom tower in southern Hormozgan province.
An official noted that petroleum products transportation remained critical to Nigeria’s energy security and economic development, requiring collective efforts to minimise associated risks.
