US Strikes Iranian Oil Tankers Linked to IRGC Amid Escalating Tensions
A US official confirmed that American forces have struck multiple Iranian oil tankers tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in response to attempted missile attacks on a US Navy warship.
The incident occurred after the IRGC launched several missiles at the USS Mason, a US Navy destroyer, which was operating in the Persian Gulf. The US forces retaliated by targeting Iranian tankers that were linked to the IRGC.
No further details about the specific tankers targeted or the extent of the damage have been released. However, the official confirmed that the strike was a response to the attempted missile attacks on the USS Mason.
