President Donald Trump has asserted the United States has already neutralized approximately nine Iranian oil tankers. He further indicated a willingness to target “a lot more” vessels, escalating tensions in the region. The announcement was made without providing specific details regarding the alleged seizures or attacks. This claim comes amid heightened US-Iran tensions stemming from the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and subsequent imposition of sanctions on Iran’s oil exports. The statement amplifies existing concerns about potential military conflict in the Persian Gulf. Further details regarding the incidents and any potential future actions were not immediately available, according to a report from RT.com. The situation remains volatile as the US continues to pressure Iran economically.
