US Targets Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Escalating Tensions
The US military has confirmed that it targeted three Iranian oil tankers in recent days, following an accusation from Washington that Tehran was responsible for targeting its warships. The attacks mark a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations after a month of relative calm.
The incident comes as the US ambassador to Israel continues to condemn settler violence in the occupied West Bank, highlighting ongoing concerns about Israeli-Palestinian relations.
Meanwhile, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have accused Yemen's government of killing three people in attacks, while Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon left another three dead.
