Iranian state media reported that an oil tanker struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, citing the vessel's use of an "unauthorised" route and disabled navigation systems as factors in the incident.

In response to these restrictions, the United States has implemented a naval counter-blockade on Iranian oil exports.
