The missiles fired into Jordan were intercepted, with no reported impacts. This surge in hostilities marks a continuation of Iran&#8217;s intermittent attacks on U.S. and allied forces in the Middle East since February.The U.S. had not conducted strikes against Iran as July but resumed them after Iranian forces appeared to prepare sea mines in the Strait of hormuz, a strategic shipping route. U.S. officials emphasized ongoing monitoring and readiness to protect maritime traffic,while Iranian officials threatened strong military retaliation. The incident underscores the escalating tensions in the region concerning control over vital waterways.  <\/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\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran <\/a>fired ballistic missiles at U.S. military bases in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jordan\/\">Jordan<\/a> on Sunday after U.S. Central Command struck two rocket launchers on Larak Island earlier in the day over concerns <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tehran\/\">Tehran<\/a> was deploying sea mines in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/strait-of-hormuz\/\">Strait of Hormuz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missiles fired into Jordan were intercepted and no impacts have been reported, according to a U.S. official who spoke with <em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/08\/30\/politics\/us-iran-strikes-larak-island\">CNN<\/a><\/em>.
