Three oil tankers catch fire in Hormuz | Iran accuses tankers of using unauthorized shipping routes

Three oil tankers catch fire in Hormuz | Iran accuses tankers of using unauthorized shipping routes
Three oil tankers caught fire on Sunday in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran regularly targets ships that transit without its authorisation, the Revolutionary Guards said in a statement. Since the outbreak of the Iran war in late February, Tehran has severely restricted traffic through the strategic waterway, insisting vessels use routes authorised by the Islamic republic.
