Iranian IRGC Confirms Mine Strike on Panamanian Tanker in Strait of Hormuz

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that the oil tanker El Gaia, flying under the Panamanian flag, exploded and caught fire after colliding with naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media Fars reported the incident on Monday but did not specify the exact date of the collision. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs had previously condemned the attack, stating that 13 of the 14 Indian crew members were rescued while search operations continued for one missing individual. This incident occurs weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed all mines in the strait had been removed or destroyed, highlighting ongoing disputes over maritime safety and control in the region.

US demands Iran publicly pledge to keep Hormuz open as talks resume

The United States is pressuring Iran to issue a public commitment to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, guaranteeing safe passage and no attacks on ships as a condition for continuing talks. Washington also wants Iran to implicitly acknowledge past mistakes and to hand over “nuclear dust” in any final deal. A Saturday meeting in Oman is targeted for Iran’s response, with officials warning that failure to meet the demand could derail negotiations. Despite Trump’s assertion that the ceasefire is over, U.S. officials say talks can continue, though a long-term deal remains uncertain and leverage is available across military, diplomatic, and economic channels. Iran reportedly aimed to wait until Ayatollah Khamenei’s funeral to resolve major items.

UAE calls for broad international coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

The UAE says it would participate in a broad multinational maritime force to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, potentially deploying its own navy, and is seeking a UN Security Council mandate with Bahrain. Russia and China could oppose the move, while Oman advocates safe passage arrangements. The goal is to protect shipping and oil flows amid Iran’s attacks that have slowed transit, signaling a tougher UAE stance toward Tehran rather than a direct war effort.
