US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: In the growing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has said it attacked an LPG carrier called the NV Sunshine. The ship was trying to go through the Strait of Hormuz by a route that was not allowed. The IRGC said there was a fire in the part of the ship that has the engine and the system that moves the ship. Meanwhile, the UK Maritime Trade Operations said a ship was hit by something near the coast of the UAE. It is not clear if the two events are related.
