– U.S. CENTCOM disabled two Iranian tankers (M/T Downy and M/T Stark 1) and sunk a third (M/T Kylo) as retaliation for IRGC ballistic missile launches against two U.S. warships in the region, including an aircraft carrier.U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces struck three Iranian crude oil tankers earlier today after the IRGC launched anti-ship ballistic missiles toward two U.S. Navy warships operating in regional waters.
The M/T Downy was disabled near Kharg Island, and it's very likely this is the tanker related to the first reports of explosions off the island. The M/T Stark 1 was disabled near Jask.
The M/T Kylo, meanwhile, was sunk in the Gulf of Oman. It's crew was ordered to evacuate by the U.S. before the strikes.
