Iran Strikes US Tanker Hours After US Torpedo Attack on Its Warship
In a rapid escalation of tensions, Iran struck a US tanker in the northern Persian Gulf hours after a US submarine torpedoed the Iranian warship IRIS Dena, killing 87 Iranian sailors. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the attack on the American tanker, which was reported to be on fire by Iranian state media. This move comes as Iran's foreign minister warned the US would "bitterly regret" its attack on the Iranian vessel, located off the coast of Sri Lanka
