Iran Claims Multiple Tanker Strikes in Hormuz, Threatens US Bases

Iran's 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 use. The US disputes the extent of these claims, accusing Tehran of faking hits, while Iran threatens US bases if maritime transit continues without its consent. The veracity and full scope of the attacks remain uncertain, but multiple independent reports confirm at least two additional tanker incidents near Oman and Iraq.
