"At 5 PM, CENTCOM forces initiate massive retaliatory waves. Airstrikes strike 140 different targets across southern Iran, including Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, Sirik, and Jask. Targets including drone launch networks, missile sites, ammunition dumps and Revolutionary Guard naval vessels. Trump announced on national television, we bombed the hell out of them last night, signaling that the interim Diplomatic deal is effectively dead. Today, early this morning, Iranian state media acknowledges widespread domestic explosions response to the bombing. Tehran launched retaliatory strike targeting infrastructures inside Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Oman."
Following U.S. airstrikes on 140 Iranian targets after Iran attacked commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Oman. Jordan and Kuwait successfully intercepted incoming missiles using U.S. defense technology. Trump declared the interim diplomatic deal effectively dead after announcing massive bombing campaigns, while oil markets showed 30% odds of major escalation.
