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.
