Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said the Panama-flagged tanker El Gaia exploded and caught fire after striking mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The report did not specify when the incident occurred. US Central Command rejected the claim, saying the vessel had previously been hit by an Iranian missile and later by a drone off Oman’s coast. The tanker was reportedly being towed, while Indian authorities said 13 of its 14 crew members had been rescued and one remained missing at sea.
