An oil tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz near Oman reported hearing two explosions, British maritime authorities said on Thursday. The incident was flagged by the tanker’s crew and subsequently confirmed by the UK’s maritime agency, which issued a brief statement to the press.
Earlier this week, Iran announced that an agreement with Oman concerning the strait’s navigation is in its final stages, while U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that a formal deal could be announced within days. The developments come amid heightened tensions in the region, prompting officials to monitor the situation closely.
