The U.S. carried out a second consecutive night of attacks last night on Iranian-linked targets, with President Trump declaring: “We hit them hard yesterday, and we're going to hit them again hard today.”
Washington continues to describe the operations as "self-defense" strikes.Iran RetaliatesIran responded by launching missiles and drones toward U.S. military facilities across the region, including targets linked to:• Jordan• Kuwait• BahrainLast ight marked the second straight night of Iranian retaliation.
Three Indian Nationals KilledIndia confirmed that three of its citizens died after a U.S. strike hit the tanker M/T Settebello off the coast of Oman.The U.S. says the vessel was targeted as part of its blockade enforcement operations against Iran.
A statement issued by CENTCOM says:
TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. forces disabled an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman at 11:20 p.m. ET on June 10 after the vessel violated the blockade against Iran by attempting to transport Iranian oil, marking the third commercial ship disabled by American forces this week.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) acted against Guinea-Bissau flagged M/T Jalveer as it attempted to transport oil from Iran through the Gulf of Oman. A U.S. aircraft fired two Hellfire missiles into the ship’s engine room after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces.
Earlier this week, U.S. aircraft disabled Palau-flagged vessels M/T Marivex and M/T Settebello on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Marivex violated the blockade by attempting to sail to an Iranian port and Settebello attempted to transport Iranian oil.
CENTCOM forces have disabled nine non-compliant vessels, redirected 135 ships that complied, and allowed 42 vessels supporting humanitarian aid to pass since initiating the blockade on April 13.
The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
