Tehran Targets US Base in Jordan After Washington Destroys Five Iranian Tankers The latest developments in the conflict between Iran and the US have brought the region to a boiling point.
On Wednesday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard fired ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan, attacked 10 ships, and threatened to strike tankers located off Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for the destruction of five Iranian oil tankers by US forces.
This escalation is part of a larger pattern of behavior that has defined the region for months. The proxy wars between Iran and its regional adversaries have resulted in devastating consequences for civilians.
