US Missiles Strike Iranian Oil Tanker Near Kharg Island
An Iranian oil tanker sustained minor damage after being targeted by four US missiles in the Persian Gulf, according to reports from Iranian state media.
The incident occurred near Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export terminal, while the vessel was operating in the area.
No casualties or oil spill were reported as a result of the attack, and the identity of the tanker remains unknown.
Kharg Island is a central focus of the conflict due to its importance to Iran's oil exports, with US forces having struck in the area before.
