Summary
U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. “The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East,” Centcom said in a statement posted to X. The development comes after the Pentagon said Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles in “an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces” in Jordan on Tuesday. The attacks disrupted a temporary lull in the war, as the U.S. military had not carried out an attack on Iran since Thursday. The U.S. military began conducting airstrikes against Iran late Wednesday in retaliation for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC attacking a U.S. base in Jordan the day before.
Furthermore, The Pentagon on Wednesday evening announced it carried out a fresh round of strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump committed to delivering the Middle Eastern country “a beating” for launching surprise attacks on U.S. troops in Jordan. The latest developments come after the United States suspended a bombing campaign against Iran last week. The IRGC fired five missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan on Tuesday evening.
