Iran launched ballistic missile attacks on two US bases in Jordan following US strikes that killed 11 people, according to Iranian media. The attacks came after the US military completed a new wave of strikes against Iran, with reports indicating the strikes hit a wedding party in Sirik, killing five. President Trump warned that the US would respond with even larger attacks if Iran retaliates, claiming Washington has near-total control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian officials vowed "severe punishment" and retaliation against Washington after the US attacks. The US military’s actions have intensified tensions in the region, with reports of increased military activity around the Gulf. Meanwhile, Russia has been secretly assisting Iran in developing advanced supersonic missiles, according to a Financial Times investigation.
The escalating conflict has raised concerns about regional stability, with both sides threatening further escalation. The US has emphasized its commitment to protecting its interests in the region, while Iran has called for a stronger response to the attacks. The situation remains volatile, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
