The U.S. responded with footage of burning tankers, citing Iran’s recent missile attacks on American warships — and announced a new policy: retaliate against Iranian tankers threatening U.S. naval vessels. Tensions remain razor-thin as Iran expands its restricted zone and deploys advanced missile tech, while the U.S. warns Tehran will lose tankers every time it targets American ships.
