Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it targeted two U.S. Navy warships amid rapidly escalating tensions near the Strait of Hormuz. The claims came as the U.S. and Iran exchanged military actions at sea, raising fresh concerns over international shipping and global oil supplies. U.S. officials have disputed Iranian claims about damage to their vessels. The growing confrontation has also contributed to major disruptions in shipping through one of the world's most important energy routes.
