Donald Trump says “the Iranians shooting eight missiles” about missiles intercepted at Jordan base

President Donald Trump cast the latest US attacks on Iran as retaliation, citing Tehran’s push to put mines in the Strait of Hormuz and eight Iranian missiles that, he said, were intercepted at an American base in Jordan. His comment came during an escalating exchange of strikes: Iranian media reported missile and drone attacks on US forces in Jordan, Bahrain and Iraqi Kurdistan, while Washington hit targets near the strait. Jordan’s army said it shot down ten ballistic missiles. Iran’s Red Crescent said a US missile attack killed four people at a wedding in Kuhestak. The fighting follows the killing of Iran’s supreme leader by US-Israeli attacks and the collapse of a ceasefire; the strait remains closed.
