U.S.
Central Command destroyed the tankers M/T Riesco, M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T
Horizon 1, and M/T Derya following IRGC ballistic missile attempts on a U.S.
warship, which evaded both with no personnel harmed.
Iran's IRGC countered by claiming strikes on USS Delbert D. Black and USS John Paul Jones, plus hits on eight oil tankers and ten vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it their largest attack there.
Reports also noted Iranian missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan, with unconfirmed injuries; the clashes drove Brent crude toward $100 a barrel amid risks to global energy routes.
