Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate. The United States has taken action against five oil tankers linked to Iran. The US military claims that these tankers were destroyed. These ships were connected to the oil network of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). This action was taken after Iran tried to launch two missile attacks on a US Navy ship. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), Iran fired ballistic missiles twice at a US Navy ship in the last two days. The US ship survived both attacks. The ship continued its activities in the area. No American soldiers were reported injured in these attacks. The US says that both Iranian attacks were unsuccessful. The US military retaliated. According to CENTCOM, four oil tankers were targeted in the Gulf of Oman. These include Mya / Kvaz, Tarim / Tariz / Tariz 1 / RIZ / RIZ / RIZ / RIZKO / RIZKO, and five tanks near the Iranian forces.
