US military says it has destroyed three Iranian oil tankers The US military said it had struck and destroyed three oil tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) after US warships came under Iranian fire. "Following Iran’s failed attacks, CENTCOM permanently disabled the IRGC crude oil carriers M/T Downy off the coast of Kharg Island and M/T Stark 1 near Jask," Central Command (Centcom) said in a statement on X. "American forces also completely destroyed the unladen crude oil carrier M/T Kylo … in the Gulf of Oman, striking the vessel in multiple critical locations to render it inoperable after the crew was directed to abandon ship," it continued. Video released by Centcom showed huge fireballs and thick plumes of flames erupting as projectiles struck the vessels. The three ships targeted were "part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC and its regional proxies", it said. "Iran has no means by which to defend them," it added.

Proposed Hormuz passage deal not feasible for shipping industry: Report A proposed deal between Iran and Oman that would give Tehran control over ships entering the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz is not easily workable due to US sanctions and restrictive insurance clauses on any payments, four industry sources told Reuters. Under the latest proposal, Tehran would be able to intervene if necessary with any inbound traffic, while outbound traffic would follow a route between Iran and Oman, with exit clearance granted through Oman after notifying Iran, a senior Iranian source told Reuters this week. Introducing compulsory charges through the strait for transit or service fees was "a toll in all but name", the world's leading shipping associations said in an open letter, which was sent to the UN's shipping agency. "It would establish a precedent that could undermine the internationally recognised legal framework governing straits used for international navigation and transit passage." What is known as a two-way traffic separation scheme was adopted by the UN's shipping agency in ⁠1968 with the agreement of countries in the region. It created the current ship routing system that split sailing corridors through Iranian and Omani waters. Report by Reuters.
