US Targets Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Mideast Tensions

The US military has targeted three Iranian oil tankers in response to an alleged attack on its warships. This development marks the first exchange of fire between the two nations after a month-long period of relative calm.

The US ambassador to Israel, however, has condemned settler violence in the occupied West Bank, echoing previous statements from his office.

Meanwhile, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have accused Yemen's government of killing three people in attacks. Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon also resulted in the deaths of three individuals.
