'They Know It's Coming': U.S. Strikes Intensify as Iran Fires Drones, Missiles Across Middle East

JERUSALEM, Israel – The Middle East is moving closer to a direct confrontation between the United States and Iran. Washington has responded to Iranian attacks with strikes inside Iran, while military preparations, diplomatic efforts, and regional alliances are all shifting rapidly. The U.S. military struck Iranian targets in what CENTCOM called "a heavy wave of strikes," one day after foiling an Iranian missile attack on a U.S. base in Jordan. Over two hours, U.S. forces hit dozens of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets including command centers, missile and drone facilities, and coastal defense sites, aiming to reduce threats to American military personnel and the region's security. Iranian media reported explosions across southern Iran. Hours before, the Tehran regime had fired multiple ballistic missiles toward U.S. bases across the Middle East, while Jordan intercepted five headed toward its airspace. Reports in Israel and elsewhere claimed that an Iranian drone struck a U.S.-owned gas storage tanker while it was unloading at Egypt's Damietta port, sparking a fire that spread to a second vessel. When asked about the attack, President Trump stated, "We're going to be hitting them very hard because it's our turn to hit them. They know it's coming."
