Iran says two tankers hit mines in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported late Saturday that two oil tankers struck mines in the broader Strait of Hormuz area, sustaining severe damage. The vessels were immobilized, with no information yet on casualties or sinking risk. The tankers' names and flags remain unknown. Iran's state television, citing military sources, said the ships had disabled their navigation and tracking systems while transiting an area officially designated as "unsafe." The Guard stated the tankers were moving through a region formally declared hazardous. No further details about the vessels' origins or cargo have been released.
