US forces strike two empty Iranian oil tankers, Central Command says
May 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. military struck two empty Iranian-flagged oil tankers on Friday that it said were seeking to violate the ongoing U.S. blockade, U.S. Central Command said in a post on X, adding that a third Iranian-flagged vessel had been disabled on Wednesday. "All three vessels are no longer transiting to Iran," Central Command said. (Reporting Ismail Shakil; writing by Susan Heavey; Editing by Daphne Psaledakis)
