The U.S. military said it hit many places in Iran for two hours.
This happened after Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in the Middle East.
President Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran hard.
The U.S. said the attack was a strong reply to the missiles.
The targets were places where Iran makes missiles and drones.
U.S. Central Command launched a two‑hour strike on Iran, hitting dozens of IRGC targets.
The attack followed Iran’s launch of ballistic missiles toward U.S. forces in the Middle East.
President Donald Trump vowed U.S. retaliation, saying "We’re going to hit them very hard."
Targets included command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance sites, and maritime capabilities.
The strikes were described by CENTCOM as a "powerful response" to the attempted Iranian attack.
