Description
Iran says two more oil tankers and a tugboat caught fire after mine strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, a day after its Revolutionary Guard claimed four tankers hit mines. The Guard also says it took control of two U.S. drones over the strait. Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency reported a tanker struck by two projectiles about 50 nautical miles north of Qatar, with the crew’s status unconfirmed. The USS Theodore Roosevelt and its strike group were in the South China Sea on Wednesday, headed for the Middle East, and U.S. Central Command says more than 3,000 commercial vessels have transited the strait with U.S. support over the past six months. Former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland (@MikeRitland) breaks it down.
