US Strikes Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Mideast Tensions
The US military has launched an attack on three Iranian oil tankers in the region. According to the US, the tankers were part of a network that helped fund Iran's Revolutionary Guard and its proxies. The US said it was responding to unprovoked Iranian attacks.
The tankers were hit near Kharg Island, which has been targeted by US strikes before. There were no casualties reported in this incident.
Meanwhile, the US ambassador to Israel condemned Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank, calling it an 'act of terror'. The ambassador said that settlers who burn cars and homes are committing acts beyond simple vandalism.
