US Destroys Five Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Tensions
The US military has taken action against Iran in response to attacks on a US warship. According to a statement from U.S. Central Command, five Iranian crude oil tankers were destroyed following two attempts by Iran's Revolutionary Guard to hit the warship with ballistic missiles over the past two days.
The strikes mark the latest escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, which have been at odds for more than six months of conflict.
