U.S. Resumes Airstrikes on Iran in Response to Attacks

The U.S. military conducted airstrikes on Iran in response to attacks on U.S. forces stationed in the Middle East.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on X (formerly Twitter) that airstrikes against Iran began at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on July 29.

CENTCOM described the airstrikes as a strong response to Iran's attempted attack on U.S. forces the previous day, but did not disclose specific locations or targets of the strikes.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched several ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the region the day before. CENTCOM characterized this as a 'surprise attack attempt' and stated that all missiles were intercepted.

At that time, CENTCOM did not specify which U.S. facilities were targeted. The IRGC claimed to have attacked the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan and facilities associated with CENTCOM.

President Donald Trump also warned of strong retaliation against Iran. On July 29, he stated, 'Now it is our turn to strike,' adding, 'We will hit very hard.'
