The attack occurred despite the United States military firing over 30 Patriot missiles to intercept the barrage. This barrage followed a series of retaliatory actions between the United States and Iran. The U.S. military destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in response to unsuccessful Iranian missile attacks against a U.S. warship. Four of these tankers were struck in the Gulf of Oman, and one was hit near Kharg Island. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also warned oil tanker crews near Kuwait and Bahrain to leave their vessels, stating the ships could be targeted in retaliation for the U.S. attacks. Meanwhile, Jordan's military reported intercepting 18 ballistic missiles, with two others falling in uninhabited areas. Jordan reported no casualties from the strikes.
