WANA (Sep 05) – The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed on Saturday, September 5, that U.S. forces had targeted three oil tankers carrying Iranian crude oil.

 

In a statement posted on X, CENTCOM said the strikes were carried out on the same day. It provided no further details about the names of the tankers, the exact location of the strikes, or the extent of the damage.

 

Meanwhile, the U.S. military claimed that Iran had launched ballistic missile attacks against a U.S. aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer. CENTCOM said the two warships had survived “multiple attacks” and that no U.S. personnel were injured.

 

CENTCOM also described the attacks as “unprovoked.”

 

The claims come as the U.S. military has provided limited information about damage to some of its military bases and equipment in the region during the recent conflict, while details of casualties and damage have at times been disclosed only gradually.
