US Military Destroys 5 Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Tensions

The US military has taken action against Iran in response to the recent attacks on its warships. The latest retaliation came in the form of a strike that destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, according to the U.S. Central Command.

This move follows a series of back-and-forth strikes between the two nations, which have escalated tensions in the region over the past six months.

Iranian state-run media reported that Tehran launched missiles towards US targets in Jordan after the latest American strike, but the U.S. Central Command had no information to offer about the strikes on the Jordanian airbase.
