Iran attacks American base in Jordan after U.S. hits Iranian targets in Hormuz

Iran attacks American base in Jordan after U.S. hits Iranian targets in Hormuz

On September 1, the United States carried out a series of strikes against Iranian military targets. This action followed recent attempts by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and confront American service members. In response, Iran vowed to take corresponding steps should the United States adhere to its commitments under an interim deal signed in June.

On the same day, Israel launched intense airstrikes in western Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of three Palestinians. These strikes came after an Israeli-backed militia operating in the area was discovered. Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israeli forces had arrested a senior Hamas operative in Gaza City, and the country vowed a forceful response to any attacks originating from Gaza.
