US forces conducted airstrikes on two 'massive' Iranian oil tankers trying to breach President Trump 's blockade on Friday after clashes between Iranian and US forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
Footage showed thick black plumes of smoke billowing from the struck ships. The hits disabled the vessels, according to US Central Command. The US military claimed they had disabled two Iranian tankers breaching the American blockade of Iran's ports. The attacks cast doubt on a ceasefire still claimed to be in effect by the US.
The US initiated the ceasefire, but reports of further clashes suggest it's tenuous. The US military said it had retaliated against Iranian military facilities and tankers. Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes and said they violated the ceasefire

Tensions Escalate: Explosions on Qeshm Island, Airstrikes in Iran, and Trump's Peace ProposalThe news text covers the escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with explosions reported on Qeshm Island and airstrikes in Bandar Abbas. President Trump has sent a one-page memo with concessions to try and secure a permanent peace deal, which includes lifting US sanctions, freeing billions in frozen assets, and opening a path to uranium enrichment. The memo also proposes halting all uranium enrichment for 12 to 15 years with automatic extensions if Iran violates the terms. The emerging framework echoes the nuclear deal secured by Barack Obama, with sanctions lifted, frozen billions released, and Iran capped at the same 3.67 percent enrichment level agreed to by Obama. Oil prices have plunged due to the proposed deal, with Brent crude falling by more than 10 percent to below $100 per barrel. Israel is reportedly preparing for strikes on Iran should the deal collapse, targeting the country's energy infrastructure and senior Iranian officials. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to favor a short campaign aimed at pressuring Iran into further concessions in negotiations.
