Iran’s state media reported on Thursday that two oil tankers were involved in explosion incidents in the Strait of Hormuz during the night between Wednesday and Thursday, according to statements from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy (IRGC Navy).

The Iranian report indicates the vessels were operating in an unauthorised route when the incidents occurred. Details regarding the cause of the explosions and extent of damage remain unclear.

The incident in the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of global oil trade passes, represents a development with potential broader implications for regional maritime security and energy markets.
