Oman's Maritime Security Centre said on Sept. 15 the tanker Al Ghaya, which
suffered an engine-room fire after an attack in the Strait of Hormuz, is being
towed to an Omani port; two crew remain missing. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps said on Sept. 14 the vessel exploded and caught fire after striking a sea
mine while attempting to transit the southern "no-go" area of the strait.
