  "account": "Shortly after the United States launched an attack on Larak Island, Iran announced it had launched ballistic missiles at two US air bases in Jordan. According to Press TV, around 6-8 missiles were fired from various Iranian missile bases in western Iran towards the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, southern Jordan. At least four Iranian medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) were reportedly intercepted by US air defenses. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released footage showing the strikes targeting technical and maintenance infrastructure and fighter-jet positions at the two US air bases. The IRGC claimed the missiles hit the bases, while Jordanian air defenses intercepted most of the missiles, though some impacts were recorded. The retaliatory strikes come after the US attacked IRGC rocket launchers on Larak Island, resulting in casualties. Iran's IRIB reported that the American attack on Larak Island had two waves, and the sounds heard from Sirik were attributed to Iranian defensive actions. Meanwhile, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that a blockade against Iran remains in place, with 83 commercial vessels redirected, 3 disabled, and 2 boarded. IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi warned of \"direct vengeance\" against those responsible, condemning the US military action as a \"grave blunder\" amid US economic measures.",
