Corroborated · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy says a third oil tanker that used an unauthorized route through the Strait of Hormuz exploded after hitting a sea mine on the afternoon of 10 November and is burning. UKMTO reported an incident involving a tanker in the same waterway, but the vessel's identity, casualties and damage were not established. Iranian Army naval force statements and released footage describe tankers on fire after mine strikes, with reports giving one or two tankers and some dating the incident to 11 November.

Verification
Corroborated: 2 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Two or more independent origins report the same event. That is agreement between reports, not proof of every detail.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
