Jordan’s military said Wednesday local time that it had intercepted five Iranian missiles, according to state media , while Bahrain sounded alarms and Kuwait activated its air defenses to intercept “hostile aerial targets.” U.S. forces on Tuesday evening launched strikes against Iran “in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter,” U.S. Central Command said. The “self-defense strikes” are “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression,” Centcom said in an X post. Brent futures ( CO1:COM ) ticked up 0.2% to $91.62/bbl at press time, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude ( CL1:COM ) advanced 0.3% to $88.47. In a post later on Tuesday stateside, Centcom said that it had completed its military action, having hit Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz.
