US Launches Fresh Strikes on Iran After Attack on American Bases

The United States resumed military strikes against Iran on Wednesday, responding to what it called an attempted attack on American troops in Jordan. The US military described the strikes as a "powerful response" to Tuesday's firing by Iran on US bases in Jordan. Iran's state television reported a US strike in the Piranshahr border area, while the Fars news agency said a missile hit an uninhabited area, causing no casualties. The strikes came hours after former US President Donald Trump vowed to hit back "hard" at Iran for its attack on American bases. The Pentagon confirmed that the strikes targeted facilities used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups. The action plunges the two sides back into open conflict after a days-long pause following earlier exchanges. US officials said the strikes were intended to deter further attacks and protect American personnel. No immediate comment from Iranian officials was available. The White House stated that the US reserves the right to respond to any aggression against its forces. The situation remains tense, with both sides on high alert.
