The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Sunday that the oil tanker “M/T Kilo” sank in the Gulf of Oman, after it was targeted in an American attack that targeted three tankers linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, while Tehran announced its response by targeting three tankers and three ships linked to the United States.
CENTCOM said via the X platform: “Thanks to the precision and professionalism of the US forces, the tanker M/T Kilo has today settled at the bottom of the Gulf of Oman, joining the Iranian Navy in the depths of the sea.”
The tanker sank after the Central Command announced that US forces had targeted it in several vital locations, rendering it completely inoperable, following orders issued to its crew to evacuate.
For its part, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy announced that it had targeted three oil tankers that were taking an unauthorized route in the Strait of Hormuz and three American ships in response to the attack on the Iranian tankers.
