The exact location of the attack remains uncertain, but reports suggest it targeted a military base in Jordan. This escalation follows previous Iranian actions, including drone attacks on Saudi energy facilities and military strikes in Iraq attributed to Iran-backed militias. The U.S.has responded with airstrikes against terrorist logistics sites in Iraq and maintains a high state of readiness. The situation is further complicated by diplomatic talks involving Israel, the U.S., and Iran, with U.S. President Trump warning that Iran must cease nuclear development or face severe consequences. The ongoing tension underscores the fragile state of Middle Eastern geopolitics and the potential for further conflict.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A surprise attack from Iranian forces marked a re-escalation in the conflict between the United States and Tehran after a lull that lasted several days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/iran-launches-surprise-missile-attack-on-u-s-forces-70955a30\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported that all of the missiles were successfully intercepted.<\/p>\n<p>However, as of roughly 8 p.m. Eastern, it wasn\u2019t clear where the attack took place, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/07\/28\/iran-missile-attack-us-base-jordan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a> was reporting that it was directed at a military base in Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East,\u201d U.S. Central Command reported in a social media post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">At 5:45 p.m. ET today, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.
