US Military Says It Destroyed 5 More Iranian Oil Tankers After Missile Attacks on Navy Warship
The United States military destroyed Iranian oil tankers in the Persian Gulf after Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. Navy vessels. Iran responded by attacking oil tankers and U.S.-linked ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. then destroyed five more Iranian tankers, and Iran fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan. The two sides have continued exchanging strikes in what officials describe as a return toward open hostilities.
