US strikes three Iranian oil tankers after alleged attacks on warships

The US military says it struck three Iranian crude oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near Iran’s Kharg Island, disabling two and destroying a third. US Central Command says the action followed ballistic-missile launches by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps towards an aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer. The US alleges the tankers helped finance the IRGC and regional proxies. The claims, including the vessels’ status and alleged financing links, have not been independently verified.
