U.S. Military Hits Iranian Oil Tankers

“The U.S. military on Saturday said it struck three Iranian oil tankers after Navy warships were targeted with missiles, warning that it would ‘if necessary, destroy Iran’s limited and exposed oil fleet,'” the Associated Press reports.

“The military’s statement said a U.S. aircraft carrier and a destroyer evaded ‘multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks’ while patrolling in the region and no U.S. personnel were hurt. It said two Iranian oil carriers were ‘permanently disabled’ and the third, unladen one, was destroyed.”
