Iran says three tankers caught fire in Strait of Hormuz

Iran says three tankers caught fire in Strait of Hormuz

What's behind this

Israel’s defence minister Israel Katz said the mission against Iran is still not complete, warning Tehran and Hezbollah of severe blows and hinting at fresh strikes as Israel perceives Iran’s nuclear drive as an active threat, a claim Tehran denies. Katz’s remarks come amid domestic political uncertainty, with President Isaac Herzog tasking Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s possible departure. Meanwhile, Iran reported three oil tankers catching fire in the Strait of Hormuz and both sides continue strikes on vessels there, restricting exports of energy and other vital commodities.
