US fires on and disables 2 more Iranian tankers as tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz
CENTCOM said the tankers were trying to breach a U.S. blockade as Washington awaits Iran’s response to a ceasefire proposal.
- On Friday, U.S. Central Command disabled two empty Iranian oil tankers, the M/T Sea Star III and M/T Sevda, by firing precision munitions into their smokestacks to enforce the naval blockade on Iranian ports.
- Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio awaits Tehran's response to a proposed agreement in Italy, even as the United States intensifies enforcement around Iranian shipping.
- Military exchanges persist around the Strait of Hormuz, which handles roughly 20% of global seaborne oil trade, as the conflict shifts from symbolic escalation to direct pressure on trade flows.
- Overnight, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense reported that its systems engaged three drones and two ballistic missiles launched from Iran, resulting in three moderate injuries.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth noted on Tuesday that the ceasefire remains in place, though recent attacks on Thursday and Friday raise questions about the agreement's stability.
