US forces have struck multiple Iranian oil tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after further attempted missile attacks on US Navy ships, according to a US official cited by Reuters. Iranian media reported strikes near Kharg Island and Jask. In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned that oil vessels in Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports hosting American forces would be targeted and urged crews to evacuate. The escalation follows earlier US strikes that disabled or destroyed three Iran-linked tankers. Meanwhile, Iran and the US continue exchanging attacks, while Iran-backed Houthis also struck targets in southern Saudi Arabia, widening the conflict across the Gulf. (PC: India Today)
