US attacks on Iran resume after two-day pause

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed this morning ballistic missile attacks on a U.S. military base in Jordan, as well as attacks on 10 ships on Wednesday, after the U.S. said it had destroyed five Iranian oil tankers last night. The IRGC threatened to target oil tankers in Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports, warning crews there to evacuate, according to a statement carried by state media.

Also last night, the Revolutionary Guard said they had captured a U.S. submersible near the Hormuz Strait. A U.S. official told Reuters that an underwater military drone malfunctioned more than a day ago, adding it did not have classified sonar or radar equipment on board.
