Iran live updates: Trump says war will end, gas prices to fall after the midterms

U.S. Central Command said its forces destroyed five Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps oil tankers on Tuesday in response to the targeting of a U.S. Navy warship.

Four of the tankers were in the Gulf of Oman, while one was near Kharg Island, CENTCOM said.

"American forces directed the crews to abandon ship before the vessels were struck and rendered inoperable," CENTCOM said.

The targeted U.S. Navy warship evaded Iranian missile attacks and no American forces were harmed, according to CENTCOM.

U.S. forces "struck multiple Iranian tankers tied to the IRGC in response to more attempted missile attacks on a U.S. Navy warship," a U.S. official confirmed to ABC News.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a warning that all oil tankers in Kuwaiti and Bahrani waters be evacuated after an alleged U.S. attack on an Iranian oil tanker.

"In light of the atrocities committed by the terrorist US army in targeting several tankers of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we warn all tanker crews in the Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports, which host these terrorists and are partners in their atrocities, to immediately abandon their vessels, whether at anchor or at the ports, because they will be targeted," Iran's IRGC Navy said in a statement Tuesday.
