Iran War | CENTCOM Hits 3 Iranian Oil Tankers After Saying Navy Warships Were Targeted With Missiles

The U.S. military says it struck three Iranian oil tankers after a U.S. aircraft carrier and destroyer were targeted by multiple Iranian missile attacks. Two tankers were reportedly permanently disabled and a third, unladen tanker was destroyed, as Washington warned it could target Iran’s exposed oil fleet if necessary. The strikes come amid renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran after months of intermittent conflict, with negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme having collapsed. The Strait of Hormuz remains a major flashpoint, with the U.S. helping guide ships through the crucial waterway as Iran asserts control and overall maritime traffic remains low.
