The United States has launched fresh airstrikes against Iranian targets, and Tehran has responded with attacks on American bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Iraq. These exchanges have shattered hopes that last weekend’s flare-up would remain limited.
Early Wednesday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) said it carried out an “intense ballistic missile attack” on Camp Titin, a US Marine Corps base in Jordan. The claim was reported by the Iranian news outlet Tasnim.
The new cycle of violence raises fears of a broader renewal of hostilities between Washington and Tehran. Both sides appear unwilling to back down, and the situation remains highly volatile.
