Iran has launched attacks in response to recent US strikes, escalating tensions in the region. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported that two oil tankers were hit by sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with both vessels on fire. The attacks come as part of Iran’s retaliation against US military actions, according to reports from multiple sources.
The US military has confirmed new strikes targeting Iranian assets, though details remain limited. Meanwhile, the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that an Iranian attack targeted a Saudi oil tanker in the same area. The incident has raised concerns over the stability of oil supplies through the critical waterway.
Swedish and Danish media outlets reported that Iran has launched attacks against multiple countries in the Middle East, framing the actions as a direct response to US aggression. US President Donald Trump has denied attempts to force Iran into negotiations, asserting that the US is not seeking to pressure Tehran into talks.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil transport, continues to be a focal point of regional tensions.
