US Jet Disables Iranian Oil Tanker as Peace Talks Near Breakthrough
US forces disabled an Iranian-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman after issuing multiple warnings, officials say. President Trump said American jets shot down 111 high-speed missiles aimed at a US aircraft carrier. He warned of further military action if talks fail. Washington and Tehran are reportedly close to a peace agreement. Iran would pause uranium enrichment for at least 12 years in exchange for lifted sanctions and release of frozen funds. A proposed 14-point framework could reopen the Strait of Hormuz under strict inspection rules. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that a temporary pause in Project Freedom does not end the blockade. Israel is also preparing contingency plans for strikes on Iran should negotiations collapse. Recent Iranian drone and missile attacks on the UAE have raised fears of wider regional conflict.
