The United States launched military strikes against three Iranian oil tankers on Saturday following an attack on U.S. Navy warships. Navy warships were targeted with missiles and CENTCOM stated that no U.S. personnel were injured. The American vessels successfully evaded multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks in the region. The U.S. military reported that two Iranian oil carriers were permanently disabled, while the third, unladen tanker was destroyed.
Iran accused the U.S. of attacking an Iranian tanker near Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, sharing what it called video footage of the strikes. The attacks followed a month of relative calm in the ongoing conflict between the two nations, which began in February.
