Iran says seven oil tankers caught fire or were damaged overnight in the Strait of Hormuz after being hit or striking naval mines. The Associated Press could not independently confirm the claims, which Iranian state television attributed to the Revolutionary Guard Corps navy. The reported incidents come amid rising tensions and concerns that U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran could resume. Tehran has threatened U.S. bases if Washington continues helping commercial ships navigate the strait. Mediators are still seeking renewed talks, while disruptions threaten energy shipments and could push prices higher.
