US and Iran attack oil tankers, Iranian military says it may launch a larger strike on the United States

On the 5th local time, the military conflict between the United States and Iran continued. The US military said it had hit three Iranian oil tankers that day. Later, the Iranian side stated that "out of desperation for the Strait of Hormuz to be blocked, the US military attacked three Iranian oil tankers and caused losses." In response, Iran attacked multiple oil tankers and U.S. ships, while warning ships in the Persian Gulf to avoid illegal shipping lanes. The analysis pointed out that while the current military actions between the two sides continue and there is no solution to the Strait of Hormuz issue for the time being, the regional situation will remain turbulent in a short period of time.
