  "summary": "The US military carried out strikes on targets in Iran, specifically Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sites, on Tuesday at 1600 GMT, according to the US Central Command. The strikes were in response to recent Iranian attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region.\n\nThe IRGC had attempted to add sea mines to the Strait of Hormuz, which were removed or detonated, and launched eight missiles at a US military base in Jordan, all of which were intercepted, as reported by the Times of India. The US military described the strikes as \"large and powerful\".\n\nThe US warned Iran of a stronger response if Tehran retaliates, with US President Donald Trump stating that Iran would be hit again at a \"much harder and higher level\" if it responds to the attack.",
