> Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said three tankers exploded and caught fire early Sunday while traveling on a route through the Strait of Hormuz that Iran had not authorized. It said the vessels had switched off navigation and identification systems and that US military actions were also involved, warning that vessels using unauthorized routes with US assistance would face the same fate.
