US military launches airstrikes on Iran in retaliation for attack on base in Jordan
The U.S. military began conducting airstrikes against Iran late Wednesday in retaliation for an attack by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on a U.S. base in Jordan the previous day. According to the U.S. Central Command, U.S. forces started firing at 8 p.m. The IRGC had fired five missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan on Tuesday evening. The strikes mark a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries, with the U.S. directly targeting Iranian assets in response to the attack on its personnel.
