US destroys 5 Iranian crude oil tankers following attacks on navy warship
United States forces said it targeted and destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, sharply escalating tensions. In retaliation, Iran fired missiles toward American positions in Jordan, though the majority were intercepted by Jordan's air defence systems. Adding to the conflict, the U.S. government enacted new sanctions on Iran's aviation sector, heightening the risk of open warfare.
