U.S. Navy helicopters attacked and set on fire an Iranian Navy amphibious vessel reportedly laying mines in the Persian Gulf last night only hours after an Iranian gunboat attacked an oil tanker flying the British flag, setting that ship ablaze and leaving two crewmen missing.

The two attacks marked another escalation in the fighting in the region and came a day before Iranian President Ali Khamenei is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
