Iran again attacks US bases in Jordan in response to Washington's bombing

The article reports that Iran has launched another attack on U.S. military bases in Jordan as a response to airstrikes conducted by the United States in Washington. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S., particularly regarding regional security and military actions. While the article does not provide specific details about the nature of the attacks or the exact locations targeted, it frames the event as a direct retaliation against U.S. military operations. The focus is on the geopolitical conflict between Iran and the United States, suggesting a continuation of hostilities.

Iran has launched new attacks against US military bases in Jordan and Bahrain in retaliation for recent American airstrikes, according to reports from Iranian officials. The strikes occurred overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday, following a series of US air raids targeting Iran earlier this week. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the attacks, which included ballistic missiles and drones directed at US facilities in both countries. The first strike targeted Camp Titin, a US Marine base in Jordan, with heavy ballistic missiles. Subsequently, Iran used drones to attack installations at the Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain. These actions mark the second such attack within less than 48 hours, following a similar strike last Sunday. This comes after more than a month of relative calm in the region. US forces claimed their attacks were aimed at "targets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," though specifics were not given. The IRGC stated that one of the US strikes hit a residential home in Sirik, near the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in several deaths and at least 50 injured. Jordanian military authorities reported that ten of the Iranian missiles were intercepted, while three others landed in sparsely populated areas without casualties. The US justified its attacks as a response to Iran's alleged attempts to disrupt commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and threaten US military personnel stationed in the region. Earlier this week, the US had bombed Iranian territory, prompting the Iranian retaliation. In addition to Jordan and Bahrain, Iranian media reported explosions in southern Iran, including near Bandar Abbas, a major port and naval base, and on the strategic island of Qeshm. The IRGC also claimed that the US bombing damaged a house during a wedding ceremony in Sirik, leading to multiple fatalities and injuries. The Iranian government has warned that further US maritime blockades could result in a military response. President of the Parliament and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf emphasized that Iran would take action if the US escalates its pressure. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump tweeted that the current attacks on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz were part of a large-scale retaliation for Iran’s failed attempt to plant mines in the waterway. He also referenced a previous Iranian missile strike on a US base in Jordan, warning that Iran would face a more severe response. The US is reportedly preparing another major operation, which could significantly impact Iran.
