Single source · Strait of Hormuz (approximate) ·
The Iranian navy says an oil tanker it describes as violating restrictions caught fire after striking a naval mine in a restricted area east of the Strait of Hormuz on the morning of 8 November. Iranian media, Middle East Eye and the Jerusalem Post relay the navy's account, and Reuters said it could not immediately confirm the report. Farsna published videos it says show a burning tanker, without a date or cause, and ME Observer reported damage to tankers in the strait without giving a cause.
