BREAKING: U.S
By Sammy Tisser,
BREAKING: U.S. Central Command says American forces have launched a third round of strikes against Iran this week after accusing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of attacking the Cyprus-flagged container ship M/V GFS Galaxy as it transited the Strait of Hormuz. According to CENTCOM, the attack left the vessel ablaze with severe engine room damage, forcing it to halt its voyage, while one civilian crew member remains missing.
The U.S. says Iran was given another opportunity to comply with the Memorandum of Understanding following previous attacks on commercial shipping, but failed to do so. It says the latest strikes, ordered by the Commander in Chief, are aimed at further degrading Iran's ability to target civilian mariners and commercial vessels operating in the Strait of Hormuz.
