The United States and Iran have significantly escalated their conflict, exchanging heavy missile and drone strikes across the Gulf region. Iran claims it has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route.
Jordan's military says it intercepted and shot down four missiles that entered the country's airspace from Iran.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards say the retaliatory operation against the United States is continuing. The IRGC says it struck the U.S. base at Sheikh Isa in Bahrain as part of the second phase of its response to U.S. attacks on Iranian coastal bases. Meanwhile, Kuwait's army says it is engaging "hostile aerial targets" in Kuwaiti airspace.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards say the IRGC Navy conducted an operation overnight to stop two vessels it said were violating regulations and endangering shipping in the Strait of Hormuz by disabling their systems.
U.S. Central Command says U.S. forces remain postured and prepared to ensure freedom of navigation for commercial shipping. The statement comes after CENTCOM said it carried out a new wave of offensive strikes against Iran on July 12, hitting dozens of targets at multiple locations with precision-guided munitions.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims it launched missiles and drones at Jordan's Prince Hassan Air Base, saying the attack ignited fuel storage tanks and ammunition depots.
The claim has not been independently verified, and Jordanian authorities have not yet confirmed the reported damage.
The renewed violence has cast serious doubt on the interim U.S.-Iran agreement signed last month, with both sides indicating that ceasefire efforts and negotiations are deteriorating.
Several Gulf countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, and Kuwait, have been affected by attacks or missile threats, increasing fears of a broader regional conflict.
Meanwhile, the United States has pledged to continue military operations to protect commercial shipping, while Iran has warned that it will respond forcefully unless its demands are met.
