U.S. Central Command stated that U.S. forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacked a U.S. warship twice in two days. Iran subsequently retaliated on Tuesday by launching missiles at the Al Azraq U.S. military base in Jordan. Jordan reported that its air defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed 18 of the 20 missiles, with the remaining ones landing in uninhabited areas, causing no casualties.
