Last update: 10 minutes agoUS-Iran Maritime Tensions: The US destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers linked to the IRGC after Iran attempted to hit a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice; the strikes targeted four tankers in the Gulf of Oman and one near Kharg Island, with crews ordered to abandon ship.
