Iran's Revolutionary Guards launch ballistic missile attacks on two US bases in Jordan

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed on Monday that they launched ballistic missile attacks on two U.S. military bases in Jordan—King Hussein and Al Azraq—in retaliation for a prior American strike on Larak, according to Reuters. The escalation marks a direct strike by Tehran against U.S. facilities in the region.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it fired ballistic missiles at King Hussein Air Base and Al Azraq Air Base, both located in Jordan Reuters reported. These bases host U.S. military personnel and infrastructure. The attack represents a direct response to an earlier U.S. strike.
Iran's Guards framed the strikes as payback for a U.S. attack on Larak, a strategic Iranian location Reuters noted. The tit-for-tat pattern reflects growing tensions between Washington and Tehran. Each side appears determined to respond to the other's military moves.
The use of ballistic missiles signals a significant step up in military confrontation between Iran and the U.S., according to Reuters. Both nations have access to advanced missile systems. The repeated strikes suggest a cycle of retaliation that could spread across the region.
