IRGC says two tankers and tugboat caught fire in Strait of Hormuz
Original: Iran war latest: IRGC claims two tankers and tugboat caught fire in Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says two oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway carrying a large share of the world's oil. The claim comes amid heightened regional tensions linked to the wider Iran conflict, and raises fresh concerns about shipping safety and energy supply routes through the Gulf.
Why now: The IRGC report of fires on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz fuels fears of escalating attacks on Gulf shipping during the Iran war.
