What happened

Iran’s Navy said its surveillance teams observed an oil tanker on fire east of Hormuz, according to IRIB reporting relayed by Anadolu. It alleged unauthorised routing and disabled tracking, but named no vessel and gave no cause or crew information. The claim lacks independent confirmation and is not classified here as a confirmed attack or mine strike. Identity overlap with earlier reports is unresolved; no actual-vessel image can be verified. Broad regional marker only.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
