What happened
U.S. Central CommandCentral Commandtheater-level Unified Combatant Command of the U.S. Department of Defense responsible for the broader Middle East said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran at U.S. forces in the Middle East at 5:45 p.m. ET Tuesday, and that all missiles were intercepted. The attack ended a brief lull as mediators pursued cease-fire talks between Washington and Tehran. Hours later, U.S. and Saudi forces struck multiple sites in eastern Iraq used by Iran-backed militias to launch drone attacks across the region. The fighting further depleted U.S. Patriot and THAAD interceptor stockpiles, raising concerns about defenses if hostilities resume.
