Claim

The IRGC Navy announced that two more oil tankers it described as violating vessels caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after striking naval mines.

Attributed to Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy

Evidence

I could not run any searches. The search tool returned errors: the first attempt hit a tool use limit and the second hit a call limit. I found no reporting from Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat or EUvsDisinfo, and no independent corroboration of the claim. I also found no IRGC Navy statement about two tankers described as violating vessels catching fire after striking mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

Assessment

The searches failed, so I have no evidence for or against the claim. Under the rules, no evidence and no fact-check means the status must be UNVERIFIED.

Confidence

Little or no independent corroboration was found - this reflects the current state of public evidence, not a guess.
