Fires break out on four ships in Strait of Hormuz, says Iran's Revolutionary Guard

Iran's Revolutionary Guard has reported that fires broke out on four ships in the Strait of Hormuz, including three vessels that struck naval mines, according to Al-Sharq.

The New York Times, citing US officials, earlier revealed that the US military has prepared plans for new strikes on Iran, potentially in coordination with Israel, as President Donald Trump's administration considers resuming large-scale military operations in the near future.

According to the newspaper, the Pentagon's plans, directed by Trump, involve an intensive military campaign lasting about three days, targeting Iran's missile and drone arsenals, as well as energy facilities and other military sites, including command centers of the Revolutionary Guard.
