Two more oil tankers caught fire after hitting naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which warned against unauthorized routes. The Guard reported the tankers, one east of the strait and one inside it, were ablaze after striking mines while navigating prohibited areas with their navigation systems off. It did not specify their flags or casualties. Iran has restricted transit through the strait, demanding the U.S. meet seven conditions, including ending conflicts and lifting sanctions. Indirect talks continue via Qatar amid recent U.S. strikes on Qeshm island.
