Escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz region have seen the U.S. military strike three Iranian oil tankers on Saturday, which the U.S. said was retaliation for Iranian ballistic missile attacks on American naval vessels. Iran responded with warnings of a "faster, heavier, more painful" response and claimed it struck an unmanned U.S. vessel attempting to enter the strait, though the U.S. denies being hit. The exchange marks the latest flare-up in a series of tit-for-tat attacks in the region, with Iran also warning of plans to establish an exclusion zone through the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf.
