An Iranian drone and missile attack struck a U.S.-contracted oil tanker carrying U.S. troops near the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week, Fox News' Trey Yingst reported, citing two sources. The vessel was targeted with at least four drones and one missile, with one projectile directly hitting the tanker and causing minor injuries, including smoke inhalation, among those aboard. A desk report also described the IRGC striking a U.S.-linked commercial vessel attempting to pass Hormuz under an Iranian blockade. The report comes amid persistent threats to commercial shipping through the strait.
