US Military Destroys Five Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Tensions
The US military has confirmed that it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers in response to two recent attacks on a US warship by Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
The strikes follow a pattern of tit-for-tat retaliation between the two nations, with Iran launching missiles toward US targets in Jordan. According to Iranian state-run media, this latest move was a direct response to the US military's destruction of the oil tankers.
No further details on the timing or location of the attacks have been released by either side.
