Iran reports gas tanker explosion in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported explosions on ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, the fourth day in a row.

A gas tanker had struck a sea mine in the morning, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement.

The influential military organization said the liquefied gas tanker had been on an "unauthorized" route and had ignored warnings.

According to the Iranian military, at least 12 oil tankers and one gas tanker have been hit by explosions since Sunday.
