Iran has launched ballistic missile attacks on two US bases in Jordan following a series of US military strikes that killed at least 11 people, according to Iranian media. The attacks come as tensions escalate between the US and Iran, with Tehran vowing "severe punishment" and retaliation. The US has been conducting strikes in the region, targeting Iranian assets, which Iran has condemned as acts of aggression.
In response to the US actions, Iran has intensified its military operations, using drones to strike at Gulf neighbors including Kuwait and Bahrain. The US has warned that further attacks from Iran could lead to a larger response, with President Trump threatening "biggest" strikes if Tehran continues its escalation. The conflict has also raised concerns over the strategic waterway, the Strait of Hormuz, with the US claiming near-total control over its security.
Iran has accused the US of being the "Great Satan" and has called for revenge after a US missile strike killed four people during a wedding in Kuhistik. The attacks have led to increased military activity in the region, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The situation remains volatile as the conflict continues to impact regional stability.
The ongoing conflict has also affected global financial markets, with global bonds reaching multi-decade highs as investors react to the heightened tensions between the US and Iran.
