IRGC Strikes Two Tankers Under U.S. Escort in Strait of Hormuz
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly struck two oil tankers navigating the Strait of Hormuz while they were under U.S. 'air escort.' The incident has caused a sharp spike in global oil prices and further heightens tensions between Washington and Tehran. The attack follows recent diplomatic friction over Bulgaria's decision to host U.S. military aircraft for potential operations against Iran, a move Tehran warned Bulgarian officials would facilitate aggression.
