U.S. forces have struck three Iranian oil tankers after Washington said Iranian forces targeted U.S. Navy warships with ballistic missiles. The Pentagon said the strikes destroyed one tanker and disabled two others, while reporting no U.S. personnel casualties.
Iran has condemned the attacks and said it has the right to respond to what it considers American interference with Iranian shipping. The renewed confrontation has increased concerns about the security of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important routes for global oil supplies.
