US Military Destroys Five Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Conflict
The U.S. military conducted an operation against Iranian oil tankers on September 9, 2026, destroying five vessels in the process.
This move comes amid ongoing tensions between the two countries, with Iran retaliating by targeting U.S. troops stationed in Jordan.
Aya Batrawy, NPR International Correspondent based in Dubai, reported on the development, noting that the strikes were part of a larger back-and-forth exchange between the nations.
