Iran Fires Missiles at US Aircraft at Jordanian Airport

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched missiles at United States military aircraft at Aqaba Airport in Jordan. The attack resulted in severe damage. The assault targeted heavy transport aircraft and command and control planes, causing severe damage to several of them, the IRGC said in a statement broadcast by Iranian state television. The IRGC also acknowledged carrying out an attack on two tankers attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Both vessels reportedly exploded and were stopped. Late last night, two non-compliant oil tankers attempting to enter and exit through what was described as an unsafe and dangerous southern route of the Strait of Hormuz exploded and were stopped, the IRGC said in a statement, according to a report by the Tasnim news agency.
