Military strikes three Iranian crude oil carriers, Central Command says

U.S. Central Command says American forces struck three Iranian crude oil tankers on Saturday after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy ships. CENTCOM did not report any injuries to U.S. personnel. The statement was issued from the U.S. Central Command, with reporting attributed to Georgina McCartney in Houston and editing by Sergio Non. The action follows CENTCOM’s account that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards targeted U.S. naval assets, prompting a U.S. response against Iranian-linked shipping. The details released focus on the tankers involved and the lack of American casualties.
