On Sunday, an oil tanker moving along an unauthorized route with Iran struck a mine and exploded in the Strait of Hormuz.
According to sea-news.az that the country to which the exploded tanker belongs has not yet been disclosed.
As is known, the situation in the region has escalated since July 8. Following the memorandum signed between the US and Iran, Washington launched strikes against several targets on Iranian territory in response to an attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.
Following this, US President Donald Trump declared the end of the ceasefire regime with Iran. In response, Tehran began launching missile strikes against US military facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Oman.
