The United States military launched "powerful" strikes on Iran on Thursday, responding to Tehran's attacks on US bases in Jordan. The operation reignited fighting in the Middle East and drew in Iran's proxy forces.
The strikes ended a nearly week-long pause in hostilities, dashing hopes for a return to negotiations. Washington described the action as retaliation for the assault on its troops in Jordan.
