According to Al Jazeera, citing the Iranian Navy and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), at least four oil tankers caught fire after striking sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz over the past few hours, including one Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC). The reports noted that the Iranian military did not provide the names or origins of the vessels. This figure represents the count provided by the Iranian side in this latest update and cannot be directly added to previous, differing reports to calculate a confirmed total number of affected ships.
