Three Iranian oil tankers hit after US aircraft carrier targeted by Iran

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : That Iran targeted a US aircraft carrier with a ballistic missile "indicates that Tehran is becoming increasingly willing to accept risks it previously sought to avoid, including directly threatening some of the most important US military assets in the region," Danny Citrinowicz, an Iran expert at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, said on X. Earlier, Iranian state television had said that four US missiles struck a tanker about six miles from Kharg Island, home to a terminal through which the country exports most of its oil.
40% : Now diplomats say the US, Britain, France and Germany seek to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for failure to comply with its nuclear nonproliferation obligations.
