The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced today that it carried out an attack against US military targets in Jordan, using ballistic missiles and drones. The attack was confirmed by the Revolutionary Guard as direct retaliation for a previous action by the United States.

The Iranian attack was specifically in response to a US attack on Larak island, which is located near the Strait of Hormuz. This region is of great strategic importance for international maritime traffic.

Iran, through the Revolutionary Guard, claimed responsibility for the military action against American forces in Jordan, making it clear that it was a deliberate and planned response to US military operations in the region.

Trump said he "always reviews every position" when questioned by journalists at the White House. According to the British newspaper Daily Telegraph, Washington would be willing to change this stance to pressure the United Kingdom into increasing its military spending. Traditionally, the United States recognizes British administration of the archipelago but does not take a position on sovereignty, a position contested by Argentina.
