US officials stated that this is the first time the US has targeted Iranian oil tankers in retaliation for Iranian attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, whereas previous military actions against Iranian tankers were primarily aimed at preventing violations of the US maritime blockade. A US official stated that this is part of a new "tanker for tanker" policy approved by President Trump, designed to further deter Iranian attacks on tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The attacked Iranian government oil tankers were anchored off the Iranian coast, north of the US maritime blockade line. A US drone fired a missile that struck the tankers engine room. US officials stated that targets also included Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defense positions, radar systems, mine-laying facilities, communication facilities, anti-ship cruise missile launchers, and attack drone launchers.
