The United States has launched a renewed wave of strikes on Iran, targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after attacks on American military bases in the Middle East. The operation marks a fresh escalation after a pause in US attacks.
The latest action followed a warning from Donald Trump, who said the United States was prepared to hit Iran very hard. That threat appears to have been followed by military action aimed at answering earlier strikes on US positions in the region.
Based on the available details, the US operation was presented as a response to attacks on American forces rather than an isolated strike. By focusing on the IRGC, Washington signaled that it was directing its response at a central arm of Iran's security and military structure.
The exchange adds to growing tension between the United States and Iran, with the risk of further retaliation remaining high. The new strikes underline how quickly the confrontation can intensify when attacks on US bases are followed by direct military reprisals.
