  "account": "A US military operation has sunk an Iranian oil tanker, the \"M/T Kylo\", in the Gulf of Oman. The US Central Command stated that the sinking was a result of the precision and professionalism of US soldiers, and that the tanker was not carrying oil. The US military had attacked three Iranian oil tankers, including one near the strategic island of Kharg, which is a key location for Iranian oil exports. The attacks were reportedly in response to Iranian attacks on US warships in the region, including the firing of ballistic missiles at a US aircraft carrier and a destroyer. US officials claim that the blockade of Iranian oil exports is working, with Iran currently unable to export oil.",
  "summary": "The USA are fending off attacks on their warships. In response, they are disabling three tankers in attacks. According to the US military, one of the ships is now lying on the seabed.",
