US Navy strikes two Iran-linked tankers in Gulf of Oman with precision munitions
TL;DR Summary
A U.S. Navy F/A-18 reportedly disabled two Iran-flagged tankers, Sea Star III and Sevda, in the Gulf of Oman by firing precision munitions at their funnels after CENTCOM said the vessels violated a blockade; experts say laser-guided bombs were used to achieve targeted impacts with limited damage, and inert munitions may explain the absence of large explosions or casualties, with CENTCOM noting more ships have been redirected to comply with the blockade.
