US launches heavy strikes on Iran after missile attacks

The United States military conducted a significant wave of airstrikes against Iran on Wednesday evening, targeting dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites. This retaliatory action follows Iran's attempted ballistic missile attacks on American forces in Jordan and on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week. The strikes, which began at 8:00 PM ET and lasted approximately one hour, were described by U.S. Central Command (Centcom) as a "powerful response" to Iran's aggressive actions, aiming to degrade Iran's military command centers, missile and drone facilities, and coastal defense capabilities.
