Escalation: Iran attacks U.S. bases with missiles
On July 29, 2026, Iran's military launched multiple ballistic missiles targeting American bases in the Middle East, with a notable focus on U.S. positions in Jordan.
This missile attack is part of a broader escalation in tensions between the U.S. and Iran, coinciding with U.S. airstrikes against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.
Jordan reported successfully intercepting five of the missiles aimed at U.S. forces, preventing potential casualties and damage.
In response to the missile strikes, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. would retaliate strongly against Iran for the attacks.
The situation remains tense, with ongoing military actions and discussions about potential diplomatic resolutions in the region.
