A supertanker carrying two million barrels of oil reportedly exploded after striking a mine in the Strait of Hormuz. The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps said the vessel had violated a protocol declared by Iran. The IRGC also accused the ship of switching off its navigation and radar systems. It said the crew ignored warnings before the blast. The tanker’s name and owner were not disclosed, nor was its flag of registration. No information was provided about casualties or pollution. The type of oil aboard was also not identified. The account came from an Iranian force with a direct interest in the strait, and no independent verification was cited.
