Mehr News Agency: Explosions Heard Near the Ship Docking Area on Iran's Kharg Island
- U.S. Central Command forces disabled five Iranian oil tankers—sinking at least one vessel, the M/T Riesco, in the Gulf of Oman—in retaliation for two failed IRGC ballistic missile attacks targeting a U.S. Navy warship.
- Following standard protocol, U.S. forces directed crew members to abandon the shadow-fleet tankers before striking the ships, framing the economic strikes as an effort to cripple IRGC proxy funding.
- In response to the tanker destruction, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched a major barrage of 20 ballistic missiles—some reportedly carrying cluster munitions—aimed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, which hosts American air operations.
- The Jordanian Armed Forces reported that their air defense networks successfully intercepted 18 of the incoming missiles, while two struck unpopulated areas with no casualties recorded.
- The IRGC issued subsequent threats warning oil tanker crews near ports in Kuwait and Bahrain to evacuate immediately, cautioning that vessels docked or anchored at host-nation facilities would face direct targeting.
