Supertanker hit sea mines in Strait of Hormuz; IRGC claims responsibility

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

JUST IN: A supertanker caught fire after hitting 2 sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, according to IRGC. US has repeatedly said the Strait is free of sea mines to reassure commercial ships that it is safe to pass through. Iran could still have a way to quickly lay new mines even after US forces clear the area. The Fajr-5 MLRS could be used to deploy lightweight mines into the Strait from the shore.
