What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that tankers struck mines in the Strait of Hormuz while US ships operated off Oman's coast. US Vice President JD Vance stated that Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on tankers drive up fuel costs. Separately, a tugboat traveling near Khor Fakkan in the UAE was struck by two unknown projectiles, resulting in one minor casualty, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations.
