US destroys 5 Iranian oil tankers after missile attacks on Navy warship

The US military has destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers following attacks on a US warship by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, US Central Command said in a social media post on Tuesday.

Iran hikes gasoline price for heavy consumers as economy struggles

Iran early Tuesday introduced a higher price for its heaviest users of gasoline, state media reported, in the latest economic pinch caused by months of war. It's the second such hike since December. Such gas price increases can be sensitive and contribute to inflation. An increase in 2019 sparked nationwide protests and a crackdown that reportedly killed more than 300 people. Without specifically mentioning the war with the United States, the government's announcement cited the "current situation", adding that the extra money from the price increase will be given to households. Under the new system, people buying more than their quota of 110 litres (29 gallons) of gasoline a month now must pay 100,000 rials (about 7 cents) per litre, or twice as much as they have been paying since December. Iran still has some of the world's lowest gasoline prices, but the price increase adds to daily pressures for many of the country's more than 90 million people. Already, the currency has been .

Iran claims strike on US vessel in Strait of Hormuz as tensions escalate

Iran said Sunday it struck an unmanned US vessel trying to enter the Strait of Hormuz, a claim that the US military dismissed as a "total lie." The purported attack came a day after the US military said forces struck three Iranian oil tankers in response to Navy warships being targeted with ballistic missiles.

But since a fragile ceasefire agreement was announced in June, on-and-off fighting has persisted, with both sides trying to inflict military and economic pain as negotiations have collapsed.
