Both sides have sought to inflict both military and economic pain, and negotiations have collapsed.The military\u2019s statement said that an American aircraft carrier and a destroyer evaded \u201cmultiple unprovoked Iranian attacks\u201d while patrolling in the region and no U.S. personnel were hurt. It said that two Iranian oil carriers were \u201cpermanently disabled\u201d and the third, unladen one, was destroyed.The U.S. statement said that the tankers were part of a shadow network helping to fund Iran\u2019s powerful Revolutionary Guard and its armed proxies in the region.There was no immediate Iranian response.\n \nIran had reported a strike near Kharg IslandEarlier, Iranian state television had said that four U.S. missiles struck a tanker about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from Kharg Island, home to a terminal through which the country exports most of its oil. Kharg Island has been repeatedly targeted during the war, including U.S. strikes on military sites there in March.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. said that one tanker was struck off Kharg Island and another was struck near Jask, east of the Strait of Hormuz. The unladen tanker was hit in the Gulf of Oman, and the U.S. said its crew had been \u201cdirected to abandon ship.\u201d The statement shared what it called video footage of the strikes.\n \n \n \nAfter the U.S. statement, Iran\u2019s state broadcaster reported the two other tankers attacked, saying their crews had evacuated.\u201cWe will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran\u2019s limited and exposed oil fleet,\u201d said Adm. Brad Cooper, the head of U.S. Central Command.The strikes came nearly a week after the U.S. and Iran resumed attacks following a month of relative calm, with the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian communities along it again being targeted. At least five people were killed earlier in the week during a U.S. bombardment of southern Iran. One strike hit a wedding.\n \nMasoumeh Zarei, 13, was wounded in the attack. She spoke to The Associated Press at a hospital while being treated for injuries to her abdomen.\n \n \n\n \n \n\n Sign up for Morning Wire:\n Our flagship newsletter breaks down the biggest headlines of the day.\n \n\n \n\n \nShe said that the wedding celebration had already begun when she set out to join it. She never made it there. She was knocked unconscious when a telecommunications tower was struck. Her next memory was of waking up in a hospital.\u201cThe party had just started, and we wanted to go there,\u201d Zarei said, her voice hoarse. \u201cI had made my nails really pretty for the party, but everything changed.\u201dHer friend, 14-year-old Kiana Karimi, also was wounded and in intensive care. She told the AP that she heard five explosions.\u201cThe first three explosions at the telecommunications tower threw us to the ground,\u201d Karimi said. \u201cI quickly got up to pick my brothers up off the ground. Then there were two more explosions, and after that I don\u2019t remember anything.\u201d\n \nU.S. had tried to turn to economic pressureThe resumption of fighting in the past week came after new U.S. efforts to apply economic pressures on Tehran, whose hard-line new senior leaders have signaled the willingness to dig in after weathering decades of sanctions. The elected government of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, however, has said that it favors a negotiated end to the war.Iran has found ways over the years to circumvent sanctions \u2014 and now a U.S. blockade of its ports \u2014 and get its oil to buyers to help ease growing economic pressures. That relies in part on a shadow fleet transporting its oil.Meanwhile, the issue that helped lead to the war \u2014 Iran\u2019s nuclear program \u2014 was meant to be addressed in negotiations that fell apart soon after the U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding in mid-June. Now diplomats say the U.S., Britain, France and Germany seek to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council for failure to comply with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations.Instead, Tehran\u2019s new leverage focuses on the strait that is crucial to global oil and natural gas shipments and was seen as an international waterway before the war began.\n \nThe U.S. military has been helping to guide ships through the strait as Tehran asserts control and targets some vessels, but overall traffic remains low.___Amir Vahdat reported from Minab, Iran.
