The US military has carried out strikes on three Iranian oil tankers following Iran's missile attacks on two US Navy warships, according to the Times of India. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that Iran had launched ballistic missiles at the American vessels, including an aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer, but the ships managed to evade multiple attacks without any injuries to personnel.
The three tankers targeted were part of a network allegedly supporting Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its regional proxies. The US military released footage of the operation, targeting the M/T Downy, M/T Stark 1, and M/T Kylo (Noxen), with the latter being completely destroyed. CENTCOM's Admiral Brad Cooper stated that the strikes were intended to impose an economic cost on Iran in response to the missile attacks.
