Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps reports supertanker hit by sea mine in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that an 'illegal supertanker' carrying over two million barrels of crude oil was hit by a sea mine while attempting to pass through the 'unauthorised' Strait of Hormuz, resulting in an explosion and a severe fire. This incident occurred as CENTCOM Admiral Brad Cooper claimed Iran is facing a financial crunch due to a US naval blockade, impacting its ability to finance proxy militias.
