US launches 'heavy' strikes on Iran after attempted attack on American troops

The US military says it launched "heavy" strikes against Iran on Wednesday in retaliation for attempted Iranian ballistic missile attacks on American forces.

Centcom said it hit "dozens" of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in response to Tuesday's firing by Iran on US bases in Jordan and at ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest hostilities came a day after the conflict expanded, with the first publicly announced joint US-Saudi strikes targeting Iranian proxies in Iraq.

When the US and Israel launched military strikes on Iran in February, President Donald Trump said the war would last only a few weeks, but it has gone on for five months with no end in sight.

US strikes ‘dozens’ of targets in Iran, hours after Trump’s expletive-laden threat

Baghdad: The US military launched strikes on Iranian targets, hours after President Donald Trump warned that a retaliatory attack was imminent after Iran launched a barrage of missiles toward American forces in the Middle East.

US Central Command announced the strikes – which began at 10am on Thursday (AEST) – on social media and said they were “a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attack”.

“We’re going to be hitting them very hard, because it’s our turn to hit ’em. They know it’s coming, they’re asking us not to do it,” Trump had told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon (US time).
