Iran Claims Missile Test Over US Carrier as Tanker War Escalates
Description
Iran claims it test-fired a new missile over a US aircraft carrier as the tanker war in the Gulf escalates. The United States says its forces struck three Iranian oil tankers after Iran fired ballistic missiles toward an American aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer.
In this episode of Epic Fury, we examine the latest US-Iran military escalation, Iran's unverified claim that an anti-destroyer missile passed over a US carrier, and Tehran's warning that it will impose a new restricted zone around the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has also claimed strikes on six vessels, although those reports remain unverified. Meanwhile, Iranian officials are preparing a new shipping corridor with Oman, while the United States continues to challenge Iran's control over commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
We also examine Iran's decision to raise gasoline prices for heavy users, growing Republican pressure on War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Israel's claimed control of the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, new US and European sanctions on Iran, and the latest developments affecting global oil markets.
Epic Fury is your daily podcast covering the US-Iran war, military operations, Iran, Israel, the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC, oil markets, sanctions, and the wider Middle East conflict.
