Iran Claims Multiple Tanker Attacks, Detentions, and US Drone Shootdown in Strait of Hormuz

Multiple Iranian sources, primarily the IRGC, claim that naval mines have destroyed or damaged several oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, with some reports alleging up to four vessels destroyed and two detained. These claims are largely unverified by independent sources, and the US has not confirmed any immediate retaliatory actions despite an alleged US drone shootdown. The situation represents a significant escalation in maritime tensions, though the precise extent and nature of incidents remain highly contested.
