Iran-US: New Military Escalation Around the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian state television broadcast images of ballistic missile launches targeting US bases in Jordan, claiming it was a response to American strikes on Iranian positions. US forces targeted Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic area for global trade, where members of the Revolutionary Guard were preparing to launch rockets. The US military recently completed a mine-clearing operation in this region, which is at the center of tensions.
