US military strikes against Iran and retaliation

The United States military conducted strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets across Iran, including air defense sites, radar systems, and maritime assets, citing Iranian attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and on American service members. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones at US bases and assets in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. The exchanges have raised fears of broader regional escalation, with President Trump threatening even more severe strikes if Iran continues to retaliate.
