IRGC struck 8 oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz plus 2 US destroyers, claiming significant damage. Retaliation for tonight's US strikes on 5 Iranian tankers. The math is now obvious: US hit 3 tankers in September, Iran responded with 6. US hit 5 tonight, Iran hit back with 10. Two-for-one tit-for-tat means this is accelerating, not stabilizing.
