Iran attacked a US military base in Jordan and conducted strikes on ships near the Strait of Hormuz. According to reports from multiple outlets, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the attacks caused 'significant damage' to US vessels. The Iranian regime stated that the targeted ships 'did not comply with the rules' and intended to cross a 'prohibited and unsafe' area of the maritime route. Iran claimed to have attacked two US ships, eight oil tankers, and ten other boats in the Strait of Hormuz. The attacks followed the sinking of oil tankers in the region, which Iran attributed to US and Israeli actions. The US has not yet officially confirmed the extent of the damage or the number of vessels targeted, though multiple outlets report the Iranian claims.
