Context
By Enas Alashray and Idrees Ali CAIRO/WASHINGTON, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it fired ballistic missiles at abase in Jordan used by the U.S. military and attacked 10 ships on Wednesday, after the U.S. said it had destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, in a sharp escalation of the six-month-old war. Increased attacks by both theU.S. and Iran have shattered a month of relative calm, hitting military, shipping and energy assets, sending oil prices surging and drawing in regional allies in recent days.
