Summary

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim seven oil tankers were damaged in the Strait of Hormuz, with four catching fire after strikes and three disabled by naval mines. The claim is disputed: the United States and President Trump deny it, with Trump accusing Iran of fabricating incidents to drive up oil prices, and the US says the strait remains open with 95% of vessels getting through. UK Maritime Trade Operations has not confirmed the incidents. An oil tanker on fire near the strait was seen, though its cause is not established. Iran has warned it would attack US military bases in the region if the US keeps escorting ships through the strait. Brent crude rose about 3-4% to around $112-113 per barrel.
