The US military says it has destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers following Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ballistic missile attacks on a US Navy warship.
In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its forces targeted two American vessels and eight oil tankers, alongside 10 additional “violating ships” accused of attempting to pass through a “prohibited and unsafe zone” of the strait, “incited and supported” by the US.
