The United States military destroyed five Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island on Tuesday. According to the U.S. military, the action was taken in response to recent Iranian missile attacks targeting a U.S. Navy warship.

In retaliation for the maritime strikes, Iran fired ballistic missiles early Wednesday at a U.S. base located in Jordan. This escalation represents a rapid succession of back-and-forth military actions between the two adversaries in the region.
