US Strikes Iranian Missile Sites; Iran Retaliates Against US Bases in Jordan

US forces targeted Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island after intelligence suggested Iran planned to deploy sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. In retaliation, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles and drones at two US air bases in Jordan, with eight missiles intercepted. This direct exchange of strikes has led to a spike in oil prices, signaling a significant escalation of regional tensions.
