The IRGC says four oil tankers were destroyed after striking naval mines while trying to pass a prohibited shipping lane south of the Strait of Hormuz, per a statement carried by IRNA. Al Jazeera separately reports that another oil tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. The tanker count and cause come from the IRGC's own statement and are not independently confirmed.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. 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.
