According to a report by Iran's Fars News Agency on the evening of September 14, local time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran said that the Panamanian-flagged supertanker “Alghaya” hit a mine while passing through a “restricted area” south of the Strait of Hormuz. The ship tracking website showed the tanker's navigation trajectory from September 7 to September 8, after which the ship's tracking data was interrupted. However, the US Central Command stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran's claim was untrue; the tanker was actually “attacked by an Iranian missile last month.” The United Nations International Maritime Organization reports that the “Alghaya” was damaged on September 12 and the two crew members are missing. The “British Maritime Trade Operations Office”, an affiliate of the British Navy, said that a ship in the Strait of Hormuz was “hit by a projectile”, causing a fire, and the crew had already been evacuated.
