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