The United States carries out its first strikes on Iran in about a month, and Iran retaliates, escalating attacks across the region. Multiple outlets report that Washington strikes Iranian-linked sites, including on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, then Iran’s Revolutionary Guards respond with attacks aimed at U.S. military interests.
Iranian state-linked media and reporters say the Revolutionary Guards target U.S. air bases in Washington-allied Jordan with ballistic missiles, claiming “heavy damage.” Jordan’s army says it intercepts eight missiles shortly after the reported Iranian launches, without specifying their origin. TIME and other summaries similarly describe Iran’s missile response directed at a U.S. base in Jordan following the U.S. action.
Some accounts add further claims beyond the Jordan strike. Korea Times reports Iran also claims actions elsewhere, including targeting U.S. military personnel in the UAE and downing a U.S. drone near the Strait of Hormuz. Other outlets focus mainly on the Jordan retaliation and interception details. Al Jazeera and Al-Monitor reference the first U.S. attack in the month and Iran’s response, including the reported timing and missile exchanges.
