The UK Maritime Trade Operations Organization said a vessel in the waters of Oman caught fire.
Based on a warning from the agency, a report of the incident was received on Sunday night by military authorities, and the cause of the fire has not been confirmed yet. The agency advised ships to transit with caution and to report any suspicious activity.
The incident location was announced as the northernmost point of the Musandam Peninsula in Oman, at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had previously claimed in a statement that two oil tankers intending to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz had exploded in the late hours of last night.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that, in the late hours of last night, two oil tankers intending to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and were prevented from moving.
According to the IRGC public relations statement, the two oil tankers were 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 condition of the crew.
In the same statement, the IRGC said that as long as the United States’ attacks in the region continue, this route will not be safe “even for a drop of oil and gas,” and the U.S. Army should be prepared for “punitive operations.”
