Iran says tanker carrying LNG hit mine, suffered explosion in Hormuz Iran's Revolutionary Guards navy said a tanker carrying liquefied natural gas struck a naval mine and suffered an explosion in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday while using what they described was an "unauthorised and dangerous route", state media reported. No details on the tanker were immediately available. Iranian media reported on Thursday that four oil tankers were hit by explosions in ​the waterway vital for global shipping, adding that the vessels ‌had ignored warnings and entered what it considers restricted areas of the strategic waterway. Tankers are still facing attacks across the strait, despite a rebound in traffic and expectations of a de-escalation in the US-Israeli war on Iran, that have been reflected in falling oil prices. At least 10 ships were hit in the first 10 days of November, after 37 attacks in October, which was the highest ⁠monthly tally ​since the conflict began in late February, according to ​data from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. IAEA increasingly concerned about Iranian enrichment plant, report says The UN nuclear watchdog is "increasingly concerned" about an underground uranium-enrichment plant at Isfahan that Iran declared last year but has not let the watchdog inspect, it said in a confidential report on Iran on Friday seen by Reuters. "The Agency does not know IFEP's exact location, status for safeguards purposes or whether it contains nuclear material," the International Atomic Energy Agency said in the quarterly report to member states, referring to the Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant. Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted drone over eastern Saudi Arabia The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis announced on Friday that it intercepted and destroyed a drone in eastern Saudi Arabia.

The incident comes amid escalating tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, with the coalition reporting repeated interceptions of missiles and drones targeting the kingdom. Yemen has been mired in conflict since the Houthis seized Sanaa and other provinces in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in support of the government in 2015. A period of relative calm since April 2022 ended with renewed fighting in July, leaving 12,000 people dead or wounded, according to the UN. CENTCOM calls Israeli media report of possible Iran war resumption ‘pure speculation’ The US military has denied an Israeli media report that it is preparing for a possible resumption of operations against Iran, dismissing claims of changes to its regional force posture as “pure speculation.” Responding to Anadolu, a US Central Command (CENTCOM) official said there were no updates to the US force posture in the Middle East. The denial followed a report by the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, which cited a US official as saying that CENTCOM had urged Israel to prepare for a possible resumption of military operations against Iran in the near future. The warning was reportedly conveyed to Israeli military representatives in the United States. KAN also reported that Washington was sending similar messages to Gulf countries through security channels. The report further claimed that the US had deployed around 200 aerial refuelling aircraft across the Middle East and Europe, with two aircraft carriers -- the USS George Washington and USS George HW Bush -- already in the region and a third, the USS Roosevelt, expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea next week. Iran's Guards say they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Friday they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, the first such claim of an attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September. The Guards said the strike was in retaliation for what they described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran's southern Sirik county, in Hormozgan province, according to Iranian state media. The claim came amid a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across the region. Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US bases in Gulf states and sought to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil and gas supplies. Washington, in turn, imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports. There was no immediate comment from the US or Bahrain.
