On 11 November, Iran’s Army Navy said a tanker caught fire after striking a sea mine in a restricted area east of the Strait of Hormuz and urged vessels to coordinate with Iranian forces. UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) separately reported an incident involving a tanker in the Strait but said the crew status, damage and environmental impact were unknown; its notice did not identify the cause. The mine attribution is therefore an Iranian military claim, while UKMTO’s notice independently confirms a tanker incident without corroborating that cause. Sources: Iran International (independent Iranian media, reporting the Army Navy statement); UKMTO (maritime security reporting authority).
