US Military Strikes Against Iran

The US military said it had completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iran, conducted in response to an earlier Iranian missile attack on a US base in Jordan.

An umbrella group of Iraqi militias initially denied the allegations, while another Iran-backed group — the Houthi rebels in Yemen — said they had attacked Saudi energy facilities as part of a separate but related conflict.
