US President Donald Trump stated on Friday that the United States may launch another military operation against Iran, a conflict that has entered its eighth month. Concurrently, Iranian security officials told Reuters that Tehran has developed plans to target undersea communications cables in the Gulf should the US and Israel resume their military campaign.

Reports indicate that the tankers were transporting approximately 4.5 million barrels of crude oil.

US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack stated that a US strike on Iran is possible as soon as this weekend, while President Trump suggested at a Florida rally that the US might conduct another "Epic Fury" operation, though he did not elaborate. These remarks follow Trump's earlier comments questioning whether to seek a swift end to the conflict or allow it to wind down, amid ongoing US-Israeli strikes that have reportedly killed thousands and displaced millions.

Andrey Klychkov has called on the public to rely exclusively on official sources for information. This statement was made in the context of ongoing efforts to manage public communication and verify facts.
