Two Oil Tankers Catch Fire in Strait of Hormuz After Hitting Mines
Iran's Revolutionary Guards reported that two oil tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting mines on November 8, 2026. Since the Iran war began in February, Tehran has restricted traffic through this strategic waterway, requiring vessels to use authorized routes. The US has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and assisted tankers navigating the strait, which handles about 20% of global oil consumption.
