Britain’s Maritime Trade Operations Agency said a vessel in the waters of Oman caught fire.
Based on the warning issued by the agency, reports of the incident were received on Sunday night from military authorities, and the cause of the fire has not been confirmed so far. The agency advised ships to transit with caution and to report any suspicious activity.
The location of the incident was reported as the northernmost point of Oman’s Musandam Peninsula and at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had previously claimed in a statement that, in the late hours of the night, two oil tankers attempting to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz had exploded.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that in the late hours of the previous night, two oil tankers attempting to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and were unable to continue their movement.
According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps public relations statement, the two oil tankers had been brought into this route “by provocation and coercion” by the U.S. Army. The statement did not mention the names of the ships, their nationality, or the status of the crew.
In the same statement, the Guards said that as long as the U.S. attacks in the region continue, this route would not be safe for “even a drop of oil and gas,” and that the U.S. Army should be ready for “punitive operations.”
