Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they struck US base in Jordan amid tanker clashes
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they attacked a US military base in Jordan, vowing retaliation after US forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, according to a report. The escalation follows repeated attacks between the two countries.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday they struck a US military base in Jordan, vowing retaliation for US strikes on Iranian oil tankers, according to a report.
The report says US forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday in response to Iran targeting an American warship, described as the second such attack in less than a week.
According to the report, the United States and Iran are locked in a stalemate six months into the war. Iran is described as maintaining a stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for the world's oil and gas, while Washington is pushing a campaign to choke Iran's ports and economy.
The Islamic republic said Wednesday it would target oil tankers off US-allied Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for the strikes on its tankers.
