US Vows Strong Retaliation After Iran's Missile Attack on US Base in Jordan
Following an Iranian ballistic missile attack targeting a US military base in Jordan, which was intercepted without casualties, US President Donald Trump vowed a strong military response, warning Iran it would face severe retaliation. The US and Saudi Arabia subsequently launched coordinated airstrikes on Iran-backed militia positions in Iraq. The US military resumed airstrikes inside Iran after a brief pause aimed at diplomatic efforts. The escalation has heightened regional tensions and impacted global energy markets, with Iran confirming its missile strikes and rejecting proposals for joint management of strategic waterways.
