Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says oil tankers caught fire after explosions in the Strait of Hormuz while attempting to exit through an unauthorized route; it gave three tankers over 24 hours in one report and a third tanker in another, and said the tankers struck mines. Tasnim News and ME Observer post video of a tanker exploding, which they describe as the fourth, with no cause given.

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.
