Tensions between Iran and the United States have taken a dangerous turn after fresh military strikes.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked two US military bases in Jordan.
The strikes reportedly came after American forces hit Iranian military launchers on Larak Island.
The IRGC said its Aerospace Force used missiles and drones against the US installations.
It identified the targets as the King Hussein and Al-Azraq airbases in Jordan.
Iran said American military assets and fighter aircraft were stationed at the bases.
The IRGC claimed the strikes targeted military, technical and maintenance facilities.
The attack followed US strikes on two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. The island lies near the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments.
US officials said the launchers were preparing to fire rockets capable of deploying naval mines.
Iran described the American strikes as an act of aggression.
The IRGC said several Iranian fighters and civilians were killed or wounded.
Tehran then vowed to respond against American military positions across the region.
Following the Iranian strikes, Jordan said its forces intercepted several missiles entering its airspace.
The latest Iran-US conflict has increased fears of a wider war in the Middle East.
Neither side has provided a full independent assessment of the damage from the latest attacks.
The situation has also raised fresh concerns about the Strait of Hormuz.
Any major disruption around the waterway could affect global energy supplies.
Regional governments are closely watching the Iran-US conflict as tensions continue to rise.
