🚨 U.S. WARPLANES STRIKE IRANIAN SUPERTANKERS IN THE GULF — BLOCKADE TENSIONS EXPLODE
The Iranian VLCC supertanker SEA STAR III was reportedly hit near Jask after a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched precision strikes from the USS George H.W. Bush.
According to reports:
• Two Iranian-flagged tankers — Sea Star III and Sevda — were targeted while attempting to enter an Iranian port during ongoing U.S. naval blockade enforcement.
• The strikes reportedly hit the vessels’ smokestacks, disabling propulsion systems without sinking the ships.
• Dramatic footage released by CENTCOM allegedly shows direct impacts followed by fire and heavy smoke.
• The operation was designed to disable, not destroy, the vessels amid the fragile April 2026 ceasefire tensions.
• Iran condemned the incident as an attack on civilian ships, while reports claim crews were rescued and no major casualties were confirmed.
This marks one of the most intense naval confrontations in the Gulf in recent months — raising fears of further escalation across the region.
