On November 14, Iran's navy reported that an oil tanker caught fire on Saturday morning after it struck a naval mine in the eastern part of the Strait of Hormuz.
Reuters has not yet been able to confirm this information.
Iran has implemented restrictions on ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and it has attacked vessels that it claims have broken these rules. This is part of Iran's efforts to maintain control over this important waterway and to increase pressure on the United States.
