BATTLE FOR HORMUZ: US strikes 3 Iranian oil tankers after IRGC attacks

The U.S. military targeted three Iranian oil tankers in retaliation after Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. aircraft carrier and a guided missile destroyer. While the U.S. ships evaded the attacks with no casualties, the U.S. responded by striking the tankers to impose a high economic cost on Tehran.
