Iran Strikes U.S.-Used Base in Jordan as Regional Conflict Escalates
Jordan said most missiles were intercepted and no casualties were reported as Iran expanded attacks to ships near the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Wednesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted Jordan's Azraq Air Base with heavy ballistic missiles in an operation dubbed "Punishing the Aggressors," striking facilities used to station United States F-35, F-16, and F-15 fighter jets.
- United States Central Command destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers linked to the IRGC, prompting the escalation following two Iranian attempts to target a United States warship with ballistic missiles over the previous two days.
- Jordanian authorities reported most incoming missiles were intercepted near the northern city of Irbid with no casualties occurring. The IRGC claimed the strikes damaged a maintenance facility, an aircraft preparation site, and various shelters at the base.
- Fighting across the Middle East intensified as regional tensions impacted the Strait of Hormuz, with reduced traffic through this shipping corridor adding to concerns about oil supply and pushing crude prices higher.
- Drone and missile attacks linked to Houthi forces caused injuries and damage to energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, marking a broader escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States.
