**Hormuz toll rises to seven ships**

Iran said seven oil tankers were hit by mines or strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, the largest single-day toll since the US-Israeli war on Iran began. Trump dismissed the claims as fabricated to raise oil prices before the midterms; US Central Command said the strait remains open with 95 percent of vessels transiting normally.
