Iran threatens retaliation against US over attacks on its ships during ceasefire
Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned on Saturday that any further attacks on Iranian oil tankers or commercial vessels would trigger a 'heavy assault' on US bases and ships in the Middle East. The warning came after US strikes on two Iranian tankers, and occurred amid an ongoing but fragile ceasefire between Iran and the US, with Washington awaiting Tehran's response to a peace proposal.

The split, in one line
All outlets report the core threat identically, but diverge on context: some emphasize US strikes preceded the warning, others stress Iran's counter-threats to regional neighbors, and coverage splits between ceasefire holding versus ceasefire at risk.
