The US Military Says It's Thwarted an Iranian Missile Attack on American Troops
CENTCOM said Iranian missiles were intercepted and U.S. forces remained on high alert after the attack ended a brief pause in hostilities.
- On Tuesday, Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East, shattering a brief pause in fighting as mediators sought to restore negotiations. U.S. Central Command confirmed all missiles were intercepted.
- Separately, the Saudi Defense Ministry reported intercepting drones targeting eastern petroleum facilities, blaming Iran-affiliated terrorist militias for the attacks launched from Iraqi territory. Houthi rebels claimed they forced a Saudi oil tanker to turn back.
- President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Tuesday at the White House for their first session since launching the war; press secretary Karoline Leavitt called it "positive and productive."
- The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed groups, dismissed Saudi allegations as "fabrications" and implicated the Houthis in Monday's attacks, complicating attribution efforts.
- Nearly 20% of the world's oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow Persian Gulf chokepoint where recurring volatility threatens global energy security. The latest strikes shatter the fragile stability mediators sought after June's interim ceasefire.
