War: Trump: Carry out "huge and tremendous" attacks against Iran
On the night of Monday, the Iran war has escalated militarily for the first time in weeks with mutual attacks. Now a further US attack follows.
US President Donald Trump has announced that the US has launched "large and powerful" attacks on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes were in response to Iran's failed attempt to lay sea mines in the strategic waterway and a recent rocket attack on US military bases in Jordan, which was successfully defended. Trump warned Iran against further attacks, threatening a stronger response if provoked.
The US military confirmed the attacks, which targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guard sites, and said they were a reaction to recent Iranian aggression against shipping and US troops.
