US military completes 'heavy wave' of retaliatory strikes on Iran after Tehran launched missiles at Jordan, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions. The strikes, described as a direct response to the Iranian attack, were carried out by US forces in coordination with allies, targeting key Iranian military assets. The operation follows a series of tensions in the Middle East, with Iran accused of launching ballistic missile attacks on US bases in the region.

According to reports, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets were hit, including military command centers and missile facilities. The strikes aimed to disrupt Iran’s ability to conduct future attacks and reduce the threat posed by its proxies. Jordan, which was the target of the initial Iranian missile attack, reported that it successfully intercepted the projectiles, preventing potential casualties.

The US has vowed to respond firmly to such actions, with President Trump emphasizing a hard stance against Iran. The escalation has raised concerns about the potential for further conflict, with neighboring countries like Iraq and Egypt also facing increased regional instability. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to posture militarily in the region.
