The United States attacked five Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman. A video shows one of the ships sinking in the waters of the region.
The American attacks were a response to two Iranian attempts to attack a US Navy vessel in the last two days. This escalation of tension occurs at a moment of high risk in the Middle East region.
The Iranian oil tankers were direct targets of US military forces as a retaliatory measure. The images of the sinking of one of the ships circulated widely, documenting the military action.
The situation in the Gulf of Oman remains tense after these naval confrontations between the two powers. The incident marks a new phase of confrontation between the USA and Iran in the region.
