According to a report by Iran's Fars News Agency on the 14th, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran said that when an oil tanker called “Alghaya” attempted to pass through the “no-navigation zone” in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz, it hit a mine and then exploded and caught fire. The Revolutionary Guard said that after the incident, relevant parties tried to control the fire, but were unsuccessful. Currently, the entire tanker has been engulfed by fire. Iran said it had previously issued a warning about the risk of “illegal waterways,” and emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is still under Iran's control and is in a “state of blockade.” There is currently no further information on the tanker's casualties, flag country, and fuel carrying capacity.
