US military hits 3 Iranian oil tankers after saying Navy warships were targeted with missiles

Both sides have sought to inflict both military and economic pain, and negotiations have collapsed. The military's statement said a U.S. aircraft carrier and a destroyer evaded "multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks" while patrolling in the region and no U.S. personnel were hurt. It said two Iranian oil carriers were "permanently disabled" and the third, unladen one, was destroyed [1].
