US strikes Iranian rocket sites in first action in weeks, triggering retaliation

U.S. forces conducted airstrikes against Iranian rocket launch sites in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, marking their first military action in over a month. The attacks disrupted a temporary ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran, which has been escalating since February 28. Iranian officials condemned the strike as 'deadly' and vowed retaliation, with reports of casualties among Iranian forces. In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan, which were intercepted by Jordanian defenses. This escalation raises concerns about renewed hostilities in the volatile Persian Gulf region, where tensions have been rising due to Iran's attacks on U.S. interests.
