US targets three Iranian oil tankers after IRGC missile strikes on two US ships
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Central Command said American forces permanently disabled three IRGC crude-oil carriers—Downy off Kharg Island and Stark 1 near Jask—and destroyed the unladen Kylo after Iran fired ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy vessels, heightening tensions over Hormuz shipping. Iran reported no casualties, and the episode underscores ongoing risks to global oil routes as hundreds of Iranian tankers remain anchored in the Gulf.
