— U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) September 8, 2026Why did Iran wade a US warship?
CENTCOM said Iran's IRGC fired ballistic missiles at a US naval warship twice in the past two days. It was fortunate that both the missiles missed. No American soldiers were injured and the ship was not damaged. The ship is still patrolling the area. America said that the wade on tankers was the wordplay to this.
Why is America targeting only tankers?
America alleges that Iran is running a 'shadow network' worth billions of dollars with these tankers. IRGC gets money from this woebegone oil trade and then the same money goes to organizations like Hezbollah, Houthi. This is the second major wade on Iran's maritime network in the last 3 days.
Were tankers hit surpassing this also?
Also on September 5, America had destroyed 3 Iranian oil tankers. The IRGC then tried to target an American watercraft carrier and a guided missile destroyer. CENTCOM says that so far all of Iran's efforts have failed
What did Iran do in retaliation?
Iran did not remain silent. According to Iranian state media, the IRGC fired missiles at a US airbase in Jordan and two US destroyers in the sea. IRGC has named this operation 'Ya Haidar Karrar' and said that it is revenge for the tanker attacks.
Which Jordanian wiring did Iran target?
IRGC personal that it fired liquid and solid fuel ballistic missiles at Jordan's Al-Azraq airbase. Iran says it targeted the hangars where America's F-35, F-16 and F-15 fighter jets are parked. It has moreover personal attacks on America's DDG-119 and DDG-53 warships.
Will the war increase further?
The situation has wilt very bad due to these continuous attacks. On one side America is bursting tankers, on the other side Iran is firing missiles at American bases. If this continues, the unshortened Middle East could be engulfed in a major war.
