Iran claims 4 tankers hit mines in Strait of Hormuz
A tanker was also struck by a projectile in the strait on Thursday night.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Iran’s claim that four tankers were hit in the Strait of Hormuz, but Al Jazeera foregrounds the IRGC’s version and the idea of “unauthorised” routes. CBS News matches the main claim yet adds, only in its extract, that a tanker was also struck by a projectile on Thursday night.
