The US military on early Thursday said that they completed ‘a heavy wave of strikes against Iran’ in response to an earlier attack by Iran on a US base in Jordan.
The Central Command said the American strikes began on Thursday midnight and ended two hours past it.
The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.
Egypt’s petroleum ministry confirmed a fire at the port but did not mention a drone attack, says a report by the Times of Israel.
