Iran's state television has reported that seven oil tankers either caught fire or sustained damage from mines in the Strait of Hormuz. If this is confirmed, it would represent the largest number of vessels damaged in a single day in the waterway since the Iran war began on February 28, when the United States and Israel carried out joint strikes against Iran. Citing a statement issued by the navy of the Revolutionary Guard, the Iranian report stated that four of the tankers were in the process of transferring oil at the time they were targeted and subsequently caught fire.
According to the same account, three additional vessels were damaged and left unable to move after they struck naval mines. The report did not offer any details regarding possible casualties or the flags under which the tankers were sailing. According to Lloyd’s List Intelligence, a company that specializes in shipping data and analysis, tanker operators who are prepared to take the risk of making the voyage have been carrying oil from Gulf producers through the Strait during the night, travelling along a lane protected by the U.S. military near Oman’s coast while keeping their location systems and mobile phones turned off.
After that, the oil is moved onto other tankers that are waiting in the Gulf of Oman, where it is then shipped onward to customers located in Asia.
