The United States has responded to an Iranian attack with new strikes against targets in Iran, according to Central Command. This action follows an earlier announcement that two U.S. military personnel were killed and one remains missing following the Iranian attack in Jordan. Prior to the U.S. strikes, Iran’s supreme leader warned of repercussions for any escalation of the conflict by Washington. The airstrikes commenced at 6 p.m. ET (2200 GMT) and were authorized by President Trump. This exchange marks a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries. The situation remains fluid and further developments are anticipated. The strikes are presented as a direct response to the loss of American lives.
