The United States says it carried out overnight strikes on multiple Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in Iran, marking a major escalation in tensions. US Central Command said dozens of IRGC-linked sites were hit, while Iranian state-linked forces signaled that a response would follow.
Reports on the operation said the strikes included locations such as Qeshm and Bushehr. Based on the limited information released so far, the reported targets were tied to the IRGC, though full details on the extent of the damage and the broader impact were not immediately clear.
Jordan said it intercepted missiles shortly after the US action, adding another regional dimension to the unfolding confrontation. The interceptions suggested that the effects of the strikes and any immediate response were not confined to Iran alone.
The IRGC said it would retaliate, raising fears of a wider cycle of attacks and counterattacks. With official statements still limited and events moving quickly, attention is now focused on whether further military action will follow across the region.
