Iran says it hit US warship with missiles 600km away in Northern Indian Ocean, Tasnim reports; Used Ghadr 380 Talayieh missiles to hit US; Missiles have 1000km+ range, can change course mid-flight; US warships would be "easy targets" in Persian Gulf.

This headline signals a significant escalation in tensions between Iran and the U.S., particularly with the bold claim of hitting a U.S. warship. Such developments could have substantial implications for oil prices, as increased military activity in the Persian Gulf heightens risks for shipping routes and may lead to volatility in WTI crude. Traders should monitor market sentiment and potential reactions in energy assets as this situation develops.
