A US official confirmed that multiple Iranian tankers linked to the IRGC were hit by US forces. This action was a response to attempted attacks on a US Navy warship. The exchange is part of a series of back-and-forth attacks between the US and Iran. Iranian state media reported explosions near Kharg Island.

The US Central Command previously hit Iranian crude oil tankers after the IRGC targeted US warships with ballistic missiles. Iran's military threatened to respond, mentioning US bases and vessels in the region.

Further details about the situation are available from the source, including the timing and extent of the attacks.
