> Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy said a third tanker struck a sea mine on Tuesday while attempting to use a route through the Strait of Hormuz that Iran had not authorized. The vessel was on fire in the strait’s eastern part. The military said tankers have increasingly tried unauthorized routes after US radar systems and coastal navigation equipment in the southern strait were destroyed, exposing them to greater mine risk.
