Iran claims a violating oil tanker caught fire after hitting a mine in the eastern Strait of Hormuz.
On the 31st local time, the Iranian Navy announced that in the afternoon of the same day, a violating oil tanker was navigating in the eastern no-sail zone of the Strait of Hormuz and caught fire after hitting a mine, ignoring Iran's warnings.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that the U.S. President made false statements, and Iran's control policy in the Strait of Hormuz will not change.
