The UK Maritime Trade Operations Organization said that a vessel in the waters of Oman caught fire.

Based on a warning from the organization, reports of the incident were received by military authorities on Sunday night, and the cause of the fire has not yet been confirmed. The organization 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 and at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz.

Earlier, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had claimed in a statement that two oil tankers intending to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz had exploded late last night.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that two oil tankers intending to enter the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded late last night and were prevented from moving.

According to the IRGC public relations statement, the two tankers had been sent into this route “under instigation 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 IRGC said that as long as the United States’ attacks in the region continue, this route would not be safe for the transit of “even a drop of oil and gas,” and that the U.S. Army should be prepared for a “punitive operation.”
