  "summary": "Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan, with Jordan's air defence systems shooting down 18 of the 20 missiles, according to KahawaTungu and The Indian Express. Two projectiles fell in unpopulated areas, with no casualties reported.\n\nThe Iranian attacks came after US forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday, as reported by multiple outlets. The US Central Command said the tankers destroyed were in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island, and were linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps.\n\nIran's Revolutionary Guard also claimed to have attacked 10 ships, including oil tankers, in the Gulf, as stated by Al-Monitor and The Indian Express. Iran warned crews of US-linked tankers near ports in Kuwait and Bahrain to leave their vessels, threatening further retaliatory strikes.",
