U.S. forces destroyed five IRGC-linked oil tankers Tuesday after Iran twice targeted an American warship with ballistic missiles, carrying out Washington’s warning that continued attacks on the U.S. Navy would exact an increasingly steep price on Tehran’s oil fleet.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the American warship evaded both attacks over the past two days and continued patrolling regional waters, with no U.S. personnel harmed.

American forces responded by destroying four IRGC crude carriers — the M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T Horizon 1, and M/T Riesco — in the Gulf of Oman and a fifth, the M/T Derya, near Kharg Island, Iran’s principal oil-export hub. The crews were ordered to abandon the vessels before they were struck and rendered inoperable.
CENTCOM said the tankers formed part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network used to finance the IRGC and its regional proxies, striking another source of revenue for Tehran as Washington intensifies its campaign to economically isolate the regime.
