## Resource

US military strikes three Iranian oil tankers in tense escalation after Iran allegedly fired missiles at US Navy ships—an incident the Pentagon calls unprovoked and deadly, with no American casualties. Two tankers are permanently disabled; one, empty, is destroyed. The US claims the vessels were part of a covert operation funding Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, turning this naval standoff into a high-stakes financial conflict. Tensions soar as both sides accuse each other, with Iran previously blaming the US for attacking one of its tankers near Kharg Island. This is not just a skirmish—it’s a flashpoint in regional power dynamics. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
