Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that US aircraft were targeted at Jordan's Aqaba airport during a series of heavy ballistic missile strikes.
The group simultaneously warned that the Strait of Hormuz remains unsafe for transit, reinforcing its stance as a key leverage point in regional tensions.
The assertion comes amid heightened geopolitical pressure on global trade routes.
The IRGC's warning underscores the persistent risk to maritime logistics through one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.
Market participants are monitoring the situation for any immediate impact on tanker insurance rates or routing decisions.
This development follows recent reports that the IRGC struck and stopped a second "offending vessel" in the Strait of Hormuz, marking a further escalation in the region's maritime conflict.
