U.S. forces disabled three Iranian oil tankers after ballistic missiles targeted two American Navy warships in regional waters.
President Donald Trump’s administration escalated pressure on Tehran after U.S. Central Command struck three Iranian crude oil tankers on Saturday. The military action came directly in response to unprovoked ballistic missile attacks launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps toward two American Navy warships operating in the region.
A U.S. aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer successfully evaded the incoming missiles during the initial engagement. CENTCOM confirmed that no American personnel sustained injuries during the hostile Iranian missile strikes.
