Summary
Iran escalated its actions in the Persian Gulf, with attacks on tankers and military bases, while Ansar Allah targeted Saudi airports. The U.S. responded by evacuating personnel from bases in the region. Iran claimed control over the Strait of Hormuz, though CENTCOM denied this, stating that traffic was flowing through the strait. The attacks on tankers increased, with Iran targeting vessels outside the Strait of Hormuz for the first time in weeks, aiming to cause casualties. A large oil spill occurred in the Gulf of Oman after a tanker was struck and caught fire.
