Iran's Revolutionary Guard reports oil tankers hit by mines in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Revolutionary Guard reported that two oil tankers were damaged by naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, releasing footage of the vessels on fire. Sources differ on whether a third tanker was also hit.

On Wednesday, November 11, the IRGC navy claimed that two oil tankers hit mines in the Strait of Hormuz while following a route not coordinated with Iran. Both vessels are on fire, and their crews have abandoned them. Iranian military released video from the scene. Iran's Chief of Staff Ali Abdallah warned the US and Israel that previous strikes were only the beginning and promised more devastating attacks if there is another miscalculation. Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei stated that enriched uranium will not leave Iran but will be used to build nuclear submarines and ships. He also threatened strikes on US military bases. Rezaei, who visited Moscow last week, emphasized that ending the war in West Asia, especially in Lebanon, is one of Iran's key conditions. Iran reported the arrest of five members of a 'spy cell' allegedly cooperating with American and Israeli intelligence. According to Western intelligence, Iran can produce about 50 ballistic missiles per month and has at least 1,700 missiles. A senior Israeli official described sharp disagreements among Trump's advisors over resuming the war with Iran.
