The US was able to thwart an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan Tuesday night as they worked with Saudi Arabia to strike bases in Iraq used by Tehran-backed militias. The US-Saudi attack on the base in Northern Iraq left eight members of the Iran-backed militia dead, according to the Iraqi armed group’s command. The attacks were the first military moves between the two nations since President Trump paused strikes to give diplomacy a chance. The strike came after US forces said missiles from Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps were intercepted in Jordan. The attack in Jordan took place at approximately 5:45pm ET on US forces based in the Middle East, US Central Command confirmed.
