  Speaker 1: The time is now 5.01pm in New York. I'm Noah
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Levi and this is the latest Israel Today, ongoing war report.

  Speaker 1: In Iranian retaliation, Tehran authorities said the Iranian Navy struck
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: three oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: three US-affiliated ships in retaliation for the three Iranian tankers
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: hit earlier in the day by US forces, the IRGC claimed.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: CENTCOM has not confirmed the strikes. the IRGC warned against
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: ships transiting the strait through routes unauthorised by Iran. This
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: comes after the US struck three Iranian oil tankers earlier
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in the day, according to CENTCOM. One such tanker was
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: reportedly struck off the coast of Karg Island, near Iran's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: key oil export hub. CENTCOM said the strikes were carried
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: out after the IRGC launched ballistic missiles at two US
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Navy ships. Let the message to the IRGC be clear.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: impose an even higher economic cost taking out three of yours,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: said Admiral Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM. Iran threatened intensified
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: strikes against US military vessels in the region after the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: US strikes. In US military role, US Vice President J.D.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Vance blamed Iran for rising fuel prices following attacks on
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: commercial shipping and sharply criticised European countries for failing to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: do enough to ensure the continued flow of global energy supplies.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: The basic reality is that the reason gas prices are
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so high right now is that the Iranians are shooting
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: at commercial shipping, Vance said. According to him, Iran resumed
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: firing at vessels shortly after signing an agreement in which
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it committed to stop doing so. Vance directed most of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: his criticism at Washington's European allies. I think it illustrates
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the ridiculous degeneration that we've seen from our European allies
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and their inability to actually do anything to help maintain
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a regular supply to the world's energy markets. he said.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: According to Vance, Iranian fire has led some vessels to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: avoid the area, but traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: has continued. Just yesterday, we got about 15 million barrels
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: through the Strait of Hormuz, despite the Iranians continuing to shoot,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he said. And what has anybody else in the world done?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Why should the United States be the only country in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the world capable of ensuring that global energy markets remain open?
