Iran steps up attacks in return to war with US

Tehran, Iran – Iran escalated its military actions across the Middle East on Tuesday, two weeks after resuming hostilities with the United States. Sirens sounded in Bahrain as the country reported intercepting Iranian attacks, while Jordan announced it had downed two waves of missiles and drones.

The siren has been sounded. Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.

Adding to the regional tension, Iran's allies in Yemen, the Houthis, declared their intention to blockade Saudi Arabia's ports. This threat could further destabilize global energy markets, especially following Iran's own blockade of the crucial Strait of Hormuz. The Revolutionary Guards also stated they intercepted two oil tankers attempting to transit the strait, which Tehran has blockaded in retaliation for a US-Israeli attack.

Bahrain's interior ministry urged calm and advised citizens to seek safe places after its military intercepted Iranian attacks. Jordan's military confirmed intercepting five Iranian drones followed by three missiles, reporting no casualties or damage. The Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for an attack targeting a "complex housing US terrorist forces" in the Rukban region.

With this radar sweep, the enemy should prepare for even more decisive and powerful waves of drone and missile attacks.

The heightened conflict follows recent US attacks against Iran, aimed at degrading its military capabilities. US President Donald Trump warned of severe repercussions for any American casualties, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described the situation as a "full-scale war." The Pentagon reported nearly 100 US service members wounded since the conflict resumed on July 7.
