The picture
Following ballistic missile attacks by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on U.S. Navy warships in the Persian Gulf, the United States conducted retaliatory strikes that destroyed or disabled three Iranian oil tankers. Both the IRGC and U.S. military have confirmed kinetic operations against each other's assets, marking the most severe direct military escalation between Washington and Tehran in Persian Gulf waters in recent years and significantly elevating regional tensions and the risk of further conflict.
