Iran's navy said an oil tanker caught fire after striking a naval mine east of the Strait of Hormuz, as Tehran continued issuing threats against vessels navigating the strategic waterway, Iran International reports.

The navy alleged that the tanker had entered an area it unilaterally designated as restricted with its navigation systems switched off.

It warned that ships traveling through the area without Iranian military authorization could face similar incidents.
