Tehran: Irans Revolutionary Guards announced on Wednesday that they have launched an attack on a US military base located in Jordan. This assault is a declared act of retaliation in response to recent American military actions against Iranian oil tankers, escalating the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

According to France24.com, the situation intensified after US forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday. This American action was itself a retaliatory move following Iran's targeting of a US warship, marking the second attack of its kind within a week. The developments have contributed to increasing tensions in the region, as both countries continue to engage in reciprocal military actions.
