The US military has launched a heavy wave of airstrikes against dozens of Iranian military targets after Iran fired missiles at American forces in Jordan and targeted ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The US strikes targeted Iranian missile sites, command centers, and defense facilities, with Iranian media reporting at least three civilian deaths, including a young child. This marks a dangerous escalation in the conflict—which expanded this week with joint US-Saudi strikes on Iran-backed proxies in Iraq—ending a brief period of diplomatic attempts to restore a broken April ceasefire.
