The United States says it launched a major round of military strikes on Iran after what it described as an Iranian attack on a U.S. base in Jordan. According to the U.S. military, the response involved a "heavy wave of strikes."
The announcement ties the U.S. action directly to the attack on the American base in Jordan. Based on the information released so far, the strikes were presented as a response to that incident rather than as a separate operation.
The development points to a sharp increase in tensions involving the United States and Iran, with Jordan now central to the latest confrontation. Even from the limited details available, the sequence is clear: an attack on a U.S. base in Jordan was followed by large-scale U.S. strikes on Iran.
Officials have not provided broader details in the trimmed report about targets, damage or the next steps. What is clear from the military's statement is that Washington is framing the strikes as a direct answer to the attack linked to Iran.
