US military issues first statement on IRGC tanker destruction
The U.S. Central Command destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, three of which were near Abu Musa Island, in response to attacks by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard targeting American warships with ballistic missiles. U.S. forces confirmed that the tankers were being used as part of a secret network to finance the Revolutionary Guard and Iranian agents in the region, and that Iran lacks effective means of defense against such operations. These actions came as a response to previous efforts by the Revolutionary Guard to attack American vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, after earlier failed attempts to strike an American aircraft carrier and a destroyer.
