Iran launches missiles at U.S. targets in Jordan, state media says
Iran has launched missiles toward U.S. targets in Jordan, Iranian state-run media said, following the latest American strikes.It's the latest tit-for-tat retaliation after the U.S. military said it destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers following two attacks on a U.S. warship by Iran's Revolutionary Guard over the past two days.U.S. Central Command, when asked about the strikes on the Jordanian air base, said it had no information to offer.Jordan's military said its air defense systems intercepted 18 ballistic missiles launched toward its territory and two others fell in places where people do not live. It says it had no reports of casualties.Jordan is a staunch U.S. ally that hosts American forces, making the kingdom's military bases a target of repeated Iranian strikes.Iran's Revolutionary Guard Navy also warned crews of oil tankers near ports in Kuwait and Bahrain to immediately leave their vessels, saying the ships could be targeted in retaliation for the U.S. attacks on Iranian tankers.
