Official Iranian sources announced that an empty oil tanker, anchored at Kharg Island, was subjected to a new American missile strike, continuing the recent campaign of targeting vital facilities and infrastructure. The intensity of military operations has significantly escalated, with
US forces conducting boarding operations on an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to renewed clashes and partial disruption of energy supplies. This escalation coincides with the US Central Command's announcement of the resumption of a naval blockade
on maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports and coastal areas.
