On Wednesday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard attacked an American military base in Jordan in response to strikes carried out by the United States that targeted Iranian oil tankers. The Iranian official news agency "IRNA" quoted the Revolutionary Guard in a statement saying that it targeted "the maintenance, equipping and stationing hangars of F-35, F-16 and F-15 fighters, in addition to the fighter aircraft shelters at the Azraq base in Jordan" located 100 kilometers from Amman. For its part, the Jordanian army stated in a statement on Wednesday that its air defenses dealt with 20 ballistic missiles originating from Iran that targeted the Kingdom and intercepted 18 of them, while two missiles landed in a remote area, stressing that there were no casualties. Shortly before that, the Revolutionary Guard warned that it would target oil tankers in Kuwait and Bahrain, calling on crews to “immediately leave their ships,” according to IRNA. On Wednesday, the Revolutionary Guard announced that it had attacked two American ships, eight oil tankers, and 10 “violating ships” that were trying to cross through the Strait of Hormuz, according to IRNA. The US Central Command (Centcom) said on Tuesday that it "destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers on September 8, after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard targeted a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice over the past two days. The American warship succeeded in avoiding Iranian attack attempts and continued its patrols in territorial waters, without any casualties among American personnel." Rubio warns In turn, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the United States will continue to target Iranian tankers with retaliatory strikes on Tuesday. Rubio told reporters during a visit to Colombia, "Iran continues its attempts to strike American ships, and every time it does that or attempts to do so, it will lose tankers, and I think you will see that again today." The Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported on Tuesday night that the US army targeted a small oil tanker near Khark Island with a missile strike, without causing any casualties. Capture a marching submarine Chief of the General Staff, Ali Abdullah, threatened that Iran would target American military bases in the region if Washington continued to bomb its oil tankers. The Revolutionary Guard confirmed on Tuesday that “fighters of the Revolutionary Guard’s naval force were able to capture one of the latest smart unmanned submarines of the US Army at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.” He added in a statement, "This smart submarine is equipped with the latest technology in submarines in the world, which was delivered to the US Army's terrorist fleet in 2025." US Central Command (Centcom) spokesman Tim Hawkins said, "A naval drone operated by American forces suffered a malfunction more than a day ago. It was surveying regional waters in support of ongoing operations," without mentioning whether Iran had detained it.
