U.S. Destroys 5 IRGC Tankers After Iran Targets Another American Warship

USCENTCOM

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers, Sept. 8, after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a U.S. Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days.

The U.S. warship successfully evaded the attempted Iranian attacks and continued to patrol regional waters. No American personnel were harmed.

In response to Iran’s most recent failed attacks, CENTCOM destroyed the IRGC crude oil carriers M/T Kaviz, M/T Charminar, M/T Horizon 1, and M/T Riesco in the Gulf of Oman as well as M/T Derya near Kharg Island. American forces directed the crews to abandon ship before the vessels were struck and rendered inoperable.

Iran has used the tankers as part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC and its regional proxies. Iran has no means by which to defend these vessels.

On Sept. 5, CENTCOM forces destroyed three Iranian crude oil carriers after the IRGC tried to attack a U.S. aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer. All IRGC attempts against U.S. Navy warships have failed.

This is simply an expression of America’s frustration. it does not in itself, translate into a strategic victory for the United States. Iran still retains the capability to launch ballistic missiles and drones, while the nuclear issue the very reason Trump initiated this war remains unresolved. The Strait of Hormuz also remains a major challenge, particularly as crude oil prices continue to ratchet upward. In other words, despite the military pressure exerted on Iran, the key strategic objectives that prompted the conflict remain largely unresolved.

Trump should give diplomacy a chance like Obama and escape this quagmire but his ego won't allow him. He still looks forward to a future when Iran would come to him hands up shouting I surrender. SMH for Trump.

Tasnim news agency identified the victim as Abdolraouf Eshaqi, commander of the Basij Resistance District in Parud, Rask County. The agency described the incident as a "terrorist attack."

Each tanker houses a crew of 26 - 29 men.

Defence Generals during US briefing: At [insert time] local time, American navy troops neutralized 130+ insurgents on Iranian waters.

F—k climate change awareness. How many Coca Cola cans can I recycle over my lifetime to offset 11 million barrels of crude oil deposited in the ocean? American companies will still offer their services to clean the mess. The war economy thrives.

America targeting civilian targets while Iran is hitting US military targets across the Gulf.

After spilling millions of barrels of oil into the ocean and tonnes of gas into the atmosphere by bombing these vessels the same America will organise Climate Change conference and ask Africa to only use renewable energy to save the planet and blame our people in the village using firewood as destroying the ecosystem. The damn hypocrisy is appalling
Re: US Destroys 5 Iranian Oil Tankers After Latest Attacks On Warships by Kalashnikov49:
They dont fear death and their soldiers are hiding under bridges, hospitals, schools and houses to shoot projectiles, missiles and drones..

While , what is left of their leaders are busy hiding in underground bunkers like Rats, shouting death to America and Israel ?

Yesterday, Iranians of nairaland, a.k.a APC/TINUBU supporters, a.k.a Terrorist sympathisers, were jubilation over a trojan horse the US gave Iran.


Anyway, there is only one way this war is ending. The total destruction of Iran.

The scale of retaliation from Iran was so massive that oil immediately shot to $100 per barrel!
Trump is a goner politically and militarily. That US will be forced out of the gulf is no longer about if , it is now about when and their humiliating exit could be any moment from now.

Thank God for US otherwise Iran would have turn the world into hell because they are hell bent on killing Christians and Jew. I don't know who gave them that assignment. Definitely not God, it was self inflicted.
