Iran has escalated tensions with the United States by launching a massive missile barrage against US military positions in Jordan. This strike came in direct retaliation for the US attacks on Iranian oil tankers near Kharg Island and Jask port. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported that the missiles struck a US base operating in Jordan, with videos from Jordan showing projectiles overhead.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy described this as the largest missile barrage since the 40-day war. Iran claimed to have hit American F-35 and F-15 fighter jets, while Jordan reported that 18 out of 20 missiles were intercepted. In response to these attacks, Iran vowed to retaliate by targeting oil tankers near Bahraini and Kuwaiti ports, warning their crews to leave their vessels.
Tensions remain high in the strategic waterways and across regional host nations as both military forces continue exchanging strikes.
