US Targets Iranian Oil Tankers Amid Rising Mideast Tensions
The US military has taken action against three Iranian oil tankers in response to what it claims was an Iranian attack on its warships. The past week saw a return to hostilities after a month of relative calm.
The US ambassador to Israel, however, condemned settler violence in the occupied West Bank, marking a separate development in the region.
In Yemen, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels accused the government of killing three people in attacks. Israeli strikes also killed three people in southern Lebanon.
