Summary
On October 24, 2026, two supertankers were disabled after striking a naval mine near the Strait of Hormuz in Hormozgan Province. According to reports from Iranian state media and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the incident resulted in explosions and fires on the vessels, which were carrying over 4.5 million barrels of crude oil combined. The crews of both tankers abandoned the ships following the blasts. While the IRGC claims the tankers were attempting an unauthorized route and asserts control over the strait, the U.S. and Iran maintain conflicting narratives regarding the security of the region and the impact of ongoing maritime tensions.
