U.S. military strikes three Iranian oil tankers in Gulf region

On Saturday, the U.S. military attacked three Iranian oil tankers in the Persian Gulf area. The strikes came after Iranian forces fired several missiles at American Navy ships on patrol. No U.S. personnel were hurt. The military said two of the tankers were badly damaged and cannot sail again. The third was completely destroyed. The three ships were hit at separate locations near Iran's southern coast. Iranian state media reported that crew members left the ships before the strikes. The U.S. military released video of the attacks. American officials said the tankers helped fund Iran's Revolutionary Guard and its allied armed groups. U.S. Central Command warned that it will destroy more Iranian oil vessels if necessary.
