The United States launched airstrikes against Iranian military targets in retaliation for the deaths of two American service members. The operation targeted facilities linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, including air-defense positions, surveillance sites, and missile infrastructure.
US Response to Attack
President Donald Trump described the strikes as a response to the deaths and said the campaign was intended to prevent further attacks on American forces. Iranian officials responded by warning that additional US action would bring a stronger military response.
The latest escalation has increased security concerns across the Persian Gulf. Iran has launched missiles and drones toward US bases and regional infrastructure, while Kuwait and Bahrain have activated air-defense systems. Damage has also been reported at energy and water facilities in Kuwait.
