Dramatic imagery shows US troops descending in the tanker from a helicopter in the Indian Ocean, far from the Strait of Hormuz.

The US president has also said that Iran was “having a hard time figuring out who their leader is”.

That’s partly because the US has killed so many potential Iranian leaders.
