Oil Tanker Strikes Mine, Ablaze in Strait of Hormuz

🛢️ HORMUZ — Tehran offered to open the strait; a mine just answered for them. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Iran's public Hormuz reopening proposal and this strike are now simultaneous facts — exposing the offer as leverage, not intent. Each confirmed mine hit reprices tanker insurance, shrinks the transit window further, and forces CENTCOM to choose between mine-clearing operations and the pre-midterm strike freeze. Qatar's framework loses credibility with every hull that burns.
