U.S. adopts 'tanker-for-tanker' retaliation strikes on Iranian oil tankers

The post describes a new U.S. targeting policy/tactic: retaliating for IRGC attacks on shipping by striking Iranian government oil tankers (including aiming at engine rooms) rather than only interdicting blockade-runners. This represents a shift in maritime coercion and deterrence practice in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially changing how naval/air assets are employed to degrade Iranian maritime attack capacity.
