Iran Strikes Jordan as Tensions Escalate | Oakland News
Description
Iran launches surprise missile barrage at Jordan and U.S. bases, triggering a major regional escalation as Jordan’s air defenses intercept five incoming missiles—just hours after U.S. forces warned of an imminent Iranian attack. Oil prices spike as Brent crude surges over 3% to $84.58 a barrel. In retaliation, U.S. Central Command, backed by Saudi Arabia, strikes Iranian militia targets in Iraq, warning of further action if attacks continue. Iraq’s Prime Minister calls an emergency meeting amid rising tensions, U.S. troop casualties, and Pentagon requests for more funding. Separately, Iran rejects Oman’s proposal to manage Strait of Hormuz traffic, unveils its own transit plan, and insists the strait won’t revert to its pre-war status.
