U.S. says it struck two Iran-flagged oil tankers trying to skirt blockade

The U.S. military struck two Iran-flagged oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, preventing them from entering an Iranian port in violation of a U.S. naval blockade. This attack further undermined the U.S.'s ceasefire with Iran, and President Trump warned of further attacks if Iran doesn't agree to a nuclear deal. The disruption of tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is causing a global energy supply shock and rising oil prices.
