U.S. forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. Navy warship twice during the past two days. The warship evaded both attacks and continued its patrol without injuries to U.S. personnel, according to the U.S. military.

The missile launches occurred on separate occasions over the preceding two days. Each time the warship avoided the incoming ballistic missiles through defensive maneuvers. The vessel sustained no damage and reported no casualties among its crew.

Following the attacks, U.S. forces targeted and destroyed five Iranian oil tankers. The military statement provided no further details on the precise timing or location of the tanker strikes. Officials described the response as necessary to counter the direct threats posed to American naval operations.

The warship resumed its normal patrol duties immediately after the second incident. Its continued operations demonstrate the resilience of U.S. naval assets in the face of aggression. The events highlight ongoing risks to American forces from Iranian military actions in the region.

The U.S. military emphasized that all actions remained defensive in nature. No additional strikes or incidents were reported in the immediate aftermath. The destruction of the oil tankers represents a direct response to the repeated missile firings against the warship.
