US Strikes Iran After Missile Attack on Jordan Base
The United States fired missiles at several places in Iran because Iran had just fired missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran very hard.
The U.S. military said the strikes were a strong response to the attack.
Iran said it had hit a U.S. base and attacked oil ships.
People who were trying to help the U.S. and Iran talk again were upset because the new attacks made it harder to talk.
US launched powerful missile strikes on Iran in retaliation for a surprise Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan.
The strikes targeted multiple Iranian locations, including Khorramshahr, Abadan, Bandar-e Mahshahr, Nurabad, Bushehr, Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Sirik.
US President Donald Trump vowed hard retaliation, calling the strikes a "powerful response" and threatening further action.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed to have struck a US air base and a command centre in Jordan and attacked oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Mediation efforts by Qatar, Pakistan, and Oman to resume US‑Iran talks were disrupted by the latest escalation, raising the risk of wider regional conflict.
