Us Launches Retaliatory Strikes On Iran Following Attacks On American ForcesUS launches retaliatory strikes on Iran following ‘attacks’ on American forcesThe United States launched fresh military strikes against Iran on Wednesday night, retaliating for Tehran’s attempted missile attack on US forces in Jordan. The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on US forces based in the Middle East,” CENTCOM said in a statement. President Donald Trump had earlier vowed a forceful response, saying the United States would hit Iran “very hard” following the attempted attack. Iranian officials also reported damage to residential areas in Qeshm Island, where rescue workers were searching for people trapped beneath rubble. The retaliation followed Iran’s missile barrage against US positions in Jordan, which American military officials said had been intercepted before causing damage.
