American military officials announced that their naval forces have struck and rendered inoperable two additional Iranian oil vessels that attempted to break through a United States naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman waters.
The military action represents another escalation in tensions during what officials describe as an already unstable ceasefire agreement between the two nations.
The Iranian tankers were reportedly attempting to circumvent the American blockade of Iranian ports when U.S. forces engaged and disabled the vessels.
