According to CoinMeta, on the 14th, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards of Iran reported that within a few hours, at least four oil tankers hit mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. One of the super tankers, for "ignoring warnings and entering the illegal waters after turning off its identification system," hit a mine and caught fire in the restricted area east of the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian side once again emphasized that any vessel that enters the illegal waters will "face the same fate," and criticized the shipowners involved for not learning from the incident, instead believing the statements of the United States and "sending their assets into flames."
