CENTCOM declara el estrecho de Ormuz libre de minas y reanuda el tráfico comercial

El Comando Central de EE. UU. informó el 31 de octubre que las rutas principales del estrecho de Ormuz habían sido despejadas de minas iraníes, lo que permitió que los buques mercantes reanudaran su tránsito. Días antes, la armada iraní informó que un petrolero sin sistemas de seguimiento había chocado contra minas en la parte oriental del estrecho y se incendió, calificándolo de embarcación ilegal.

Posteriormente, autoridades iraníes declararon que tres petroleros habían impactado minas, generando preocupación por interrupciones en el transporte marítimo y el aumento de los precios del combustible. Un buque que transitaba por el estrecho también se incendió tras la detonación de dos explosivos adheridos a su casco, aunque la tripulación salió ilesa. Un informe de seguridad verificado señaló que el incendio de un petrolero siguió a la colocación de dispositivos explosivos por pequeñas embarcaciones, elevando el precio del crudo Brent a 117 dólares por barril. Las autoridades marítimas de Omán rescataron a 25 tripulantes de un petrolero panameño que ardía, en medio de las afirmaciones iraníes de que varios buques fueron detenidos por usar rutas no autorizadas.

Resumen

The claim that on October 27, 2026, an oil tanker without active tracking struck naval mines in the eastern Strait of Hormuz and was deemed illegal has insufficient evidence. The claim that on November 1, 2026, two oil tankers exploded after striking Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz is partially confirmed. It is partially confirmed that on October 29, 2026, Iran reported three tankers struck mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The claim that on October 30, 2026, a tanker caught fire after small boats attached explosive devices to its hull in the Strait of Hormuz is also partially confirmed.
