Iran attacks US military base in Jordan; escalation follows US strikes on Iranian tankers
Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they bombed a U.S. base in Jordan on Wednesday, the latest strike in an accelerating cycle of military exchanges.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed Wednesday that they attacked a U.S. military base in Jordan, according to France 24. The strike was described as retaliation for U.S. destruction of five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday, which itself was a response to Iran targeting an American warship earlier in the week.
The escalation marks the second Iranian attack on a U.S. vessel in less than a week, deepening military tensions between the two countries in the Middle East.
