An oil tanker has exploded in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting a naval mine, according to Iran.

The incident occurred on July 26, 2026, and the tanker had deviated from the designated shipping lane set by Tehran's military, which warned that passage through the strait is only allowed through their designated routes.

The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial waterway for international oil trade, with a significant portion of the world's crude oil passing through it. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of shipping in the region and its potential impact on global energy markets.
