The US military says it has destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers following Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ballistic missile attacks on a US Navy warship.
In response, IRGC says its forces targeted two American vessels and eight oil tankers, alongside 10 additional “violating ships” accused of attempting to pass through a “prohibited and unsafe zone” of the strait, “incited and supported” by the US.
