Iran Guards Report Fires on Two Tankers in Strait of Hormuz
Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported that two oil tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz on November 6, 2026, following claims of five other tankers suffering similar incidents. Since the West Asia war began on February 28, Tehran has sought to restrict traffic through this strategic waterway, which handles about one-fifth of global oil consumption. Iran offered to reopen the strait if the U.S. meets its demands, while the U.S. has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports and escorted tankers through the strait.
