IRGC Mines Strike Supertanker on Fire in Strait of Hormuz
💥 HORMUZ — First mine strike on a supertanker; the blockade just drew blood. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: A supertanker on fire from mines shifts Hormuz from interdiction to destruction. Tanker operators can reroute around escorts; they can't avoid a mined channel. War-risk insurance becomes unquantifiable overnight. Seven daily transits will fall further. With Muscat collapsed, Tehran has introduced a cost that outlasts any ceasefire: mines don't need operators once laid.
