The Financial Times reported that the US military targeted multiple ships after attempted missile attacks on a US Navy warship.
The US military has reportedly struck multiple ships linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to the Financial Times, after further attempted missile attacks on a US Navy warship.
The supplied report does not identify the vessels, their locations or the weapons used. It also provides no details on casualties or damage, and the claims have not been independently verified in the source material.
The strikes come amid continuing US-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a major route for oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Earlier reporting cited in the supplied context said Iran had reportedly seized an unmanned submarine near the strait, a claim the US played down.
Oil prices were reported to be approaching US$100 a barrel as the latest military developments raised concerns around a strategically important energy corridor. The supplied material does not provide a precise market level or substantiate the price move in full.
