What happened

U.S. forces began strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. Wednesday after U.S. Central Command said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a surprise ballistic-missile attack on American forces in Jordan. CENTCOM said U.S. defenses intercepted all the Iranian missiles, and the IRGC said it had targeted a U.S. air base and CENTCOM headquarters in Jordan. President Donald Trump said the United States would “hit them hard” and that Iran would “get a beating.” The exchange ended a brief pause in fighting and renewed concerns in Washington about missile stockpiles.
