@dawn.newsuk26: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says a supertanker caught fire after striking naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the vessel ignored warnings about a restricted route. US CENTCOM has denied the account, alleging the tanker El Gaia was previously damaged by an Iranian missile and attacked again by a drone near Oman. The dispute has heightened concerns over shipping safety in the Gulf as the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical flashpoint in the Middle East conflict. #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #IRGC #CENTCOM #MiddleEast
