  "summary": "The US has struck multiple Iranian tankers in response to attempted missile attacks on a Navy warship, according to a US official. The strikes are the latest in a series of tit-for-tat actions between Washington and Tehran, which had seemed to be easing but have escalated again over the past few months.\n\nThe US military targeted several Iranian oil tankers tied to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, prompting the Revolutionary Guard to warn crews of oil tankers near ports in Kuwait and Bahrain to immediately leave their vessels, saying they could be targeted in retaliation.\n\nThe incident is part of a conflict that began more than six months ago, with both sides exercising restraint for a period before the US and Iran began trading strikes again in late August, according to The National UAE.",
