US Launches Strikes in Response to Iran’s Attempted Missile Attacks

The United States began launching strikes on Iran at 8 p.m. Wednesday, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated.

The attacks were “a powerful response to [Tuesday’s] attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East,” CENTCOM said in a statement posted on X.

The attacks by Iran on U.S. forces didn’t get past U.S. defenses, according to the command.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
