Iranian Navy struck and stopped the oil tanker TREND, which was attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without authorisation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.

The Togo-flagged tanker was intercepted after a fire broke out on board, the statement said.

Iranian authorities described the incident as an enforcement action aimed at vessels attempting to transit the strategically important waterway without permission.

The Navy issued a warning to other vessels seeking to cross the Strait of Hormuz, saying unauthorised passage would have consequences.
