What happened

On Thursday, a small boat pulled up to the tanker Louise 1 near Hormuz and fixed two explosives to its hull.

Maritime security sources told Reuters they were limpet mines, the first successful use since the war began in February.

Hours before Cooper's video, Iran's IRGC Navy claimed it stopped two tankers south of the strait.

You don't need warships to mine a tanker.

The victory lap came a day after the attack.
