US Strikes Iranian Oil Tankers in Retaliation for Missile Attack
US forces have launched new strikes against Iranian oil tankers in retaliation for an earlier attempted missile attack targeting a US warship, according to a U.S. official.
The official stated that the strikes targeted tankers connected to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a wing of the Iranian armed forces.
This is the latest kinetic engagement in the multi-month armed standoff between the two nations.
