US military says it hit dozens of Iran's IRGC targets
Central Command said the strikes hit military command centers, missile and drone facilities, and coastal defense sites after an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan.
On Thursday, U.S. Central Command struck "dozens" of targets belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, including command centers and missile facilities, in response to an earlier Iranian missile attack on a base in Jordan.
Regional tensions spiked Thursday as Jordan intercepted five Iranian missiles, while an Iranian strike in Kuwait killed one worker and another on Qeshm island left three dead.
The United States partnered with Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to strike Iran-backed militias in Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters, as attacks threaten Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq facility processing approximately 7 million barrels daily.
President Donald Trump vowed to hit Iran "very hard" following the Jordan base attack, though Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman emphasized during meetings with U.S. leadership that Riyadh ultimately seeks de-escalation.
These concurrent flare-ups raise the risk of all-out war, complicating efforts to wind down the five-month conflict, while Iranian attacks have effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global energy supplies.
