Iran fired five ballistic missiles toward a strategic American military base in Jordan, but Jordan said all were intercepted. U.S. Central Command said American forces struck dozens of targets connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps during a two-hour operation. The operation followed Iran’s launch of five ballistic missiles toward Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, a strategic installation used by American forces. Speaking before the retaliatory strikes, Trump said Iran had attempted to catch the United States by surprise but failed. The escalation came shortly after American and Saudi forces conducted coordinated strikes against Iran-backed militias in Iraq.
