The United States has confirmed that it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers as part of its military operations in the region. According to the Associated Press, the US said the ships were targeted due to their suspected involvement in illicit activities. The incident occurred despite ongoing diplomatic efforts between the two nations.
The US did not provide further details on the circumstances surrounding the destruction of the oil tankers or whether they were indeed engaged in illegal activities as claimed. However, the move is likely to raise tensions between the two countries and potentially disrupt global oil markets.
