U.S. Strikes Iranian Tankers

U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers Saturday after Central Command said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles toward two U.S. Navy warships, disabling tankers off Kharg Island and near Jask. Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned Sunday that further U.S. attacks would bring a “faster, heavier, and more painful response.” Tehran also claimed it hit an unmanned U.S. vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz; the U.S. military denied it. Mohsen Rezaei said Iran will announce an exclusion zone and new shipping route near Hormuz.
