War: USA and Iran announce new mutual attacks
On the night of Monday, the Iran war has escalated militarily for the first time in weeks with mutual attacks. Now further attacks follow - and Trump once again threatens Iran in a martial manner.
The US and Iran have reported new mutual attacks. US President Donald Trump said American forces had targeted Iranian sites near the Strait of Hormuz in response to Iran's attempted laying of sea mines and recent rocket attacks on US military bases in Jordan. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) retaliated, launching missiles and drones at US bases, with state media reporting targets in Jordan.
The attacks caused casualties, including four people killed and over 50 injured at a wedding party in Sirik, and the US military said it had begun strikes against IRGC targets in Iran at 12:00 pm East Coast time.
