US airstrike targets Iranian tanker
An American airstrike targeted an Iranian oil tanker near Qeshm Island in the Gulf, resulting in four American missiles striking the vessel, with no casualties among the crew, as they began evacuation operations. This attack comes after warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump, who had threatened in August to destroy the island, and Iran responded to these threats. Qeshm Island has historically been an important area for Iranian oil exports, handling approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports before the American blockade was imposed on Tehran in April. Trump had expressed a desire to seize control of the island in June but later backed down from his military threat, prior to the signing of a temporary agreement between Tehran and Washington to de-escalate the tensions.
