The US president promised harsh retaliation for the attempted “surprise” missile attack on American forces
The US has launched a “powerful” bombing raid against Iran after President Donald Trump warned that it was “our turn to hit them,” following Tehran’s ballistic missile attack on American forces in Jordan the previous night.
US Central Command said the new strikes began at 8pm Eastern Time on Wednesday.
“The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on US forces based in the Middle East,” CENTCOM announced.
The command did not immediately identify the targets, disclose how many aircraft or missiles were involved, or say how long the operation was expected to continue.
