The US military claimed to have targeted three oil tankers off the Iranian island of Kharg.
CENTCOM said the action was in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on US Navy ships.
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said that the American message to the Revolutionary Guards is very clear: if they target two American ships, we will target three of their ships and inflict even greater economic damage on them.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump threatened to target suspected nuclear facilities in Iran’s Mount Kalinga and claimed complete control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Donald Trump said that he calls the Iran war a military conflict. This military conflict is trivial. Thousands of Americans were killed in Vietnam and other conflicts, but 18 soldiers were killed in Iran, which is not a big deal
