U.S. strikes two Iranian-flagged tankers as tensions continue amid ceasefire - The Washington Post
Overview
U.S. forces struck and disabled two Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman after exchanges of fire, saying the vessels were trying to breach an American blockade. That kinetic activity comes as the administration prepares additional strikes and awaits Tehran’s formal response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal now under review. The strikes and parallel diplomatic messaging further strain tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and raise the risk of broader naval escalation.
