The US military asserted that Iran suddenly attacked its military bases in the Middle East by firing multiple ballistic missiles. However, the US said all missiles were successfully intercepted. According to the US Central Command, the attack occurred Tuesday evening. No specific details about the targeted bases have been disclosed.
In retaliation, US and Saudi Arabian forces carried out joint operations against “Iran-supported terrorist bases” located in eastern Iraq. The Central Command stated that this operation was a response to 30 drone attacks on US bases over the past 72 hours, which have been attributed to Iranian support. Tehran has not officially commented on either the missile strikes or these accusations. Direct attacks between the two countries had subsided in recent days, and hopes for renewed negotiations were growing. US President Donald Trump noted on Monday that there had been “very friendly talks” with Iran.
