The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced on the 18th that two oil tankers exploded and caught fire in a minefield in the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz. The statement emphasized that due to recent U.S. military actions, the strait is now "completely closed", and until the U.S. stops its military actions against Iran, oil and gas transport ships should avoid entering the minefield. The statement did not specify the nationality of the two oil tankers, casualties, or losses. (Xinhua News Agency)
