Oman rescued 25 crew members from a burning oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, Al Jazeera reported. Meanwhile, Iran stated it had intercepted three oil tankers attempting to cross the strait via "unauthorized routes," with one supertanker hitting a mine and catching fire. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy also claimed to have destroyed an enemy unmanned vessel in the eastern Strait of Hormuz on Friday. The U.S. military denied Iran's claims about mines and stated that the "internationally recognized main shipping lanes" of the strait had been successfully cleared of Iranian mines.
