Iran-Krieg: USA und Iran attackieren sich erstmals seit Wochen wieder
Das US-Militär hat erstmals seit Juli wieder Ziele im Iran angegriffen. Daraufhin nahm der Iran eigenen Angaben zufolge US-Stützpunkte in Jordanien ins Visier – die Geschosse konnten abgefangen werden.
Iran has claimed responsibility for attacking two US military bases in Jordan, according to a statement released by the powerful Revolutionary Guard through a state-run Iranian news agency. The attack, carried out in the early hours of the night, was reportedly in retaliation for a US strike on the Iranian island of Larak. Jordan's King's forces destroyed eight rockets that entered their air space, reported state news agency Petra, citing the military.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force reportedly responded to a drone discovered over the country's territorial waters. The drone, according to the Ministry of Defense, came from Iran. An Iranian military report claimed an attack with dozens of drones was launched at a target in the UAE. The UAE's defense ministry denied reports of a rocket attack on an airfield.
Earlier, the US military allegedly launched its first strikes on Iran since late July, targeting two rocket launchers on the island of Larak, as reported by Axios, Fox News, and CBS News based on a US official. The aim was to prevent new sea mines from being laid in the Strait of Hormuz.
