Iran Claims Multiple Tanker Strikes in Strait of Hormuz, Threatens US

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims responsibility for striking seven commercial vessels, including oil tankers, in the Strait of Hormuz and Arabian Gulf, with some reports indicating naval mine usage. The US disputes these claims, alleging Iranian attempts to manipulate oil prices, while reinforcing its military presence. The veracity and extent of the attacks remain uncertain, but Iranian threats against US bases if Hormuz transit continues without Tehran's consent signal a significant hardening of Iran's position.
