US military launches airstrikes on Iran after foiled missile attack on US forces
July 30, 2026
The US military says it’s launching strikes on Iranian targets in response to Tehran’s attack on American forces a day earlier.
US Central Command said the strikes are “a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attack” and that they began Wednesday evening, in a post on social media.
It’s a further escalation after a period of calm, with the U.S. saying it had intercepted strikes from Iran a day earlier and carried out separate strikes alongside Saudi Arabia on Tehran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq.
President Donald Trump had vowed to retaliate after Iran targeted a base in Jordan that hosts U.S. troops.
