Minutes after The Zioneer reported that US forces were striking Iranian oil tankers, a fresh report from a regional monitoring channel provides new details: two tankers were hit off Kharg Island and a third was struck at the port of Jask. The channel describes the strikes as consistent with earlier American warnings to target Iranian oil assets. The report also anticipates an Iranian retaliatory strike in the coming hours. The claims remain unverified, and no official confirmation from US or Iranian sources has been published. The incident unfolds amid the broader US campaign against Iranian maritime infrastructure, following President Trump's threat of 'Bye bye, Kharg' and previous strikes on IRGC launchers and tankers in recent weeks.
