US and Iran Exchange Military Strikes in Strait of Hormuz

The United States and Iran exchanged military strikes over the weekend, with the U.S. targeting Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran retaliating with missile attacks on American bases in the region. The escalation follows a recent attack on U.S. forces in Jordan, which prompted President Donald Trump to vow a strong response. According to a U.S. statement, the American military struck two Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday night. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have destroyed U.S. fighter jets and infrastructure at two Jordanian airbases in retaliation, though this claim has not been independently verified.
