President Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday the US sank "many ships" through the Strait of Hormuz overnight, is moving large volumes of oil out and controls the strait. He said the US may soon strike Gaoshan and is ready to act; any deterioration in Iran's situation would be met with a heavy response. Trump said the US has "basically taken over" Iran and described the Iran issue as a military skirmish rather than a war.

Saudi outlet Hadas reported Iran said the crew of the attacked Iranian oil tanker were uninjured; material damage is being assessed.
