Summary

Iran's Revolutionary Guards say several oil tankers struck naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz and caught fire, and that the vessels were using a route Tehran has banned. The reports differ on the number of ships: some cite four, others five or more, and a tugboat is also reported to have burned. The IRGC says the tankers remain ablaze. The British monitor UKMTO has not confirmed the incidents, and no one has claimed responsibility for them. One account attributes damage to projectiles off Qatar's coast, citing the British military. Peace talks between the US and Iran are under way without announced breakthroughs.
