Single source · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) · 2026-11-11 12:00 UTC

The IRGC Navy says explosions disabled two supertankers carrying more than 4 million barrels of oil in the Strait of Hormuz on the night of 11 November 2026, after they used an unauthorised southern route. Several outlets relay this claim, and one says the ships were burning. Iranian state media and ME Observer report explosions on two oil tankers without naming a source, and no casualty figures or independent confirmation are given.
