US CENTCOM Destroys Five Iranian Oil Tankers in Escalating Tensions
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers in response to ballistic missile attacks on an American Navy warship. The incident occurred on September 8, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted the US warship with ballistic missiles twice over two days.
The US warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and continued to patrol regional waters without any harm to American personnel.
CENTCOM forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers in a targeted operation, marking a significant escalation in tensions between the US and Iran.
