The US military destroyed 11 Iranian ships in the Gulf of Oman, US Central Command (CENTCOMM) said on Monday.

“Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman, today they have ZERO. The Iranian regime has harassed and attacked international shipping in the Gulf of Oman for decades. Those days are over. Freedom of maritime navigation has underpinned American and global economic prosperity for more than 80 years. U.S. forces will continue to defend it,” CENTCOMM said in a statement.
Washington and Tel Aviv launched coordinated strikes on ‘Iranian military targets’ on Saturday, with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating their intention to dismantle Iran’s missile capabilities.
In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced ‘widespread missile and drone attacks’ targeting Israel. Reports indicated that US military bases in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, and Kuwait were also targeted.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in joint US-Israeli strikes carried out against Iran on Saturday, Iranian state television confirmed. The Supreme Leader, who had ruled since 1989, held ultimate authority over Iran’s political, military and religious institutions.
Iranian officials warned that Khamenei’s killing would mark a turning point, with the Revolutionary Guard vowing retaliation and declaring that “this great crime will not go unpunished.”
The escalations follow three recent rounds of nuclear talks between Iranian and American officials, one held in Muscat and two in Geneva.
