  • Iran launched ballistic missiles at Camp Titin in Jordan and drones at Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
  • The attacks followed U.S. strikes that Washington said targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps positions, while Iran said a residential home near the Strait of Hormuz was hit.
  • Jordan said it intercepted 10 Iranian missiles and that three others landed away from populated areas without causing casualties.

Iran has again targeted American military positions in the region, firing heavy ballistic missiles at Camp Titin in Jordan and sending drones toward the U.S. base at Sheikh Isa in Bahrain, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The attacks came overnight from Tuesday into Wednesday, in retaliation for U.S. bombing raids on Iran. They marked the second exchange of attacks in less than 48 hours, after a month in which no cross-border strikes had been publicly reported.

— The United StatesWashington’s description of the targets in its strikes on Iran.

Washington said its latest operation targeted “objectives of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” without specifying which sites. The elite Iranian force said the American bombardment struck a residential house in Sirik, near the Strait of Hormuz, killing several people and injuring at least 50. It did not give a precise death toll.

attempts at aggression

— The United StatesThe stated justification for U.S. attacks against Iran.

Jordan’s military said in a statement that it intercepted 10 of the Iranian missiles. Three others hit areas “far from population centers,” causing no casualties, according to the statement. The United States said its action was intended to counter Iranian “attempts at aggression” against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and American service members deployed in the region.

The first U.S. attack took place on Sunday on Iran’s Larak Island. Washington said Iranian forces there were preparing to launch rockets carrying naval mines into the Strait of Hormuz. Two people were killed in that operation, according to the report.
