Iran targets US bases in Jordan and the Gulf after Trump orders strikes near Hormuz
- On Wednesday, the U.S. military struck "multiple targets in Iran," including air defense and surveillance radar sites, in response to what Central Command called "unwarranted and continued aggression."
- These strikes follow a Monday clash between Iran and Israel and represent the third time this week that back-and-forth attacks have tested a two-month ceasefire.
- Earlier Wednesday, American aircraft fired "precision munitions" into the engine room of the Palau-flagged Settebello attempting to breach the naval blockade with Iranian oil; three Indian sailors are missing.
- President Donald Trump warned Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled negotiations, while Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told the Security Council that Iran "will never submit to pressure or question."
- As Qatar attempts to mediate, Trump claimed the U.S. military conducted a "secret mission" to sneak oil past the Strait of Hormuz, while global crude oil prices remained above $93.
