The US military has taken action against Iranian oil tankers in response to recent attacks on its warships. According to sources, five Iranian oil tankers were destroyed by the US military in a move aimed at countering the latest escalation between the two nations.

The attacks follow a missile strike on a US Navy warship, which was reportedly carried out by Iran. The US has since retaliated with strikes against American targets in Jordan, prompting Iran to launch missiles towards US interests in the region.

Iranian state-run media confirmed that missiles were launched towards US targets in Jordan, but details of any damage or casualties are not immediately available. The US military's actions have raised concerns about further escalation between the two nations and the potential impact on global oil markets.
