The United States reported having successfully thwarted multiple attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against an aircraft carrier and a guided missile destroyer of American forces. The Iranian action would have been directed at the American military vessels in the region.
In response to the thwarted attacks, the USA said it struck three Iranian oil tankers. The retaliation occurred after the American warships were fired upon by the IRGC.
The incident raises tensions between the two countries in the Middle East region. American authorities did not provide details about possible damage or casualties resulting from the confrontation.
