Drone Strike on U.S. Tanker in Egypt Triggers American Strikes Inside Iran

A drone struck the U.S.-owned tanker Energos Winter at Egypt's Damietta port on July 29, with fire spreading to a second vessel. The U.S. military then struck dozens of IRGC — Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard — headquarters and drone sites inside Iran, citing the Damietta attack and attempted strikes on U.S. forces in Jordan as justification.
