Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at U.S. Bases in Jordan, Claims Action Against Tankers

Iran fired ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan and claimed to have stopped three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. All missiles were intercepted and no casualties were reported. The incidents occurred as President Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for talks on Iran's nuclear program. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps described the missile launches as retaliation for U.S. military actions against Iran. U.S. air defenses intercepted every Iranian missile, resulting in no strikes on targets and no reported damage or injuries. The IRGC separately stated that it had targeted and stopped three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. These events took place during the meeting between the U.S. and Israeli leaders focused on Iran's nuclear activities. Reports indicated that the missile strikes targeted a base and a CENTCOM facility in Jordan. No further details on the tankers or their status were provided in the statements.
