Pentagon releases video of US strikes on two Iranian oil tankers in Strait of Hormuz
The Pentagon has released video showing US strikes on two Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military says the vessels were disabled after overnight exchanges of fire with Iranian forces.
According to the confirmed account, the tankers were stopped before they could reach ports in the Gulf of Oman.
The footage was released on Friday, adding visual confirmation to the earlier report of the operation.
The incident is significant because the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most sensitive shipping routes.
Any disruption there can quickly affect maritime traffic and raise tensions around regional security.
The latest details confirm that two vessels were hit and disabled, but do not add information on casualties or wider damage.
The military has not said how long the disruption may last.
The confrontation comes amid a broader pattern of pressure around Iranian shipping and access to ports in the area.
