Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that two oil tankers transiting through the Strait of Hormuz hit mines and exploded, a claim disputed by the US military. “An hour ago, two oil tankers, which were trying to pass through the minefield south of the Strait of Hormuz by deceptive American intelligence agencies, exploded and caught fire,” the Guards said in a statement published by state news agency IRNA, without identifying the tankers.
