US Resumes Air Strikes on Iran After Missile Attack
The United States started attacking Iran again after Iran fired missiles at a US base in Jordan.
The missiles were stopped by US defenses, so no one was hurt.
President Trump said the US would hit Iran hard if talks failed.
The US and Saudi Arabia also hit Iranian-backed groups in Iraq.
These attacks make it harder for the US and Iran to talk peacefully.
US resumed air strikes on Iran after Iranian missiles were intercepted over a US base in Jordan.
The missile attack was the first direct Iranian ballistic missile operation against a US military compound since the US paused its campaign for diplomacy.
President Donald Trump warned of a forceful response, saying the US would "beat the f*ing s*t" of Tehran and that talks were "good" but could end if negotiations failed.
US and Saudi forces also struck Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq following more than 30 drone attacks attributed to Iran.
The resumption of strikes has undermined the diplomatic opening between Washington and Tehran, raising doubts about future negotiations.
