US strikes Iranian tankers near Khour al-Shammikh
The United States carried out strikes on three Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman near Rajak Island and Jask, following attacks on American warships with missiles and reports of targeting oil-carrying vessels owned by Iran. The U.S. military stated that the two tankers, one of which was loaded with oil, were permanently disabled, while the third tanker, which was empty, was destroyed. On the Iranian side, television sources reported that the attacks targeted ships near Rajak Island and caused damage without any human casualties, accusing Iran of aiding in the funding of the Revolutionary Guard through oil smuggling networks. This renewed escalation comes after a week of resumed attacks in the region, amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran and a deterioration in nuclear negotiations.
