IRGC says it destroyed 20 warehouses used by US forces in the Azraq region of Jordan, resulting in the deaths of dozens of soldiers, according to Al Jazeera Mubasher.
What it means
The reported destruction of US military warehouses in Jordan by the IRGC is a significant escalation in regional tensions, potentially altering the dynamics of US-Iran relations. This could lead to increased volatility in oil markets and prompt safe-haven demand for assets like gold and the USD, as investors seek refuge amid rising geopolitical risks.
