These strikes occurred after IRGC forces launched ballistic missiles at U.S. Navy ships in the region. CENTCOM described the operation as a message to Iran, warning that attacking U.S. vessels would result in increased economic sanctions and retaliatory actions against Iran&#8217;s oil fleet.The targeted tankers were identified as the M\/T Downey near Kharg Island, M\/T Stark 1 near Jask, and M\/T Kylo in the Gulf of Oman, which are part of a shadow network funding Iran\u2019s regional proxies. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on a Turkish bank purportedly facilitating Iran\u2019s covert financial activities. The operation was conducted without any harm to U.S. personnel, and CENTCOM emphasized their readiness to defend American forces and take further action if necessary.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The United States military struck three Iranian oil tankers in a blow to the regime\u2019s efforts to bypass American sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces disabled three Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) oil tankers Saturday, according to a CENTCOM <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.centcom.mil\/MEDIA\/PUBLIC-RELEASES\/Article\/4591744\/centcom-destroys-3-irgc-oil-tankers-after-iran-targets-2-us-navy-warships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>.
