En chiffres
US Central Command categorically denied claims by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (CGRI) that two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz were blown up by Iranian naval mines. US forces stated that these words are part of disinformation spread by Iran on the seventh day of the conflict between the US and Iran.
The Iranian side, in a statement via the Tasnim News Agency, claimed that the vessels in question exploded after entering a minefield south of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Iran's claim, a massive fire broke out as a result of the explosion of the ships, which were tricked by US intelligence services; however, no details were shared regarding the identity of the ships and possible casualties.
This tension arose following the renewed escalation of the conflict after President Donald Trump ended the ceasefire between the two countries. The US's re-imposition of the naval blockade against Iranian ports and ships last Tuesday was accompanied by Iran's response with missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles against US targets in various countries in the Middle East.
