The Pentagon announced Tuesday that the United States carried out airstrikes against Iranian sites in response to a missile attack on American forces in the Middle East. The missile, launched from Iran, was intercepted by U.S. air defenses without causing damage or injuries, according to the Pentagon. The strikes, conducted by U.S. Central Command aircraft, targeted multiple locations in Iran’s western region. The operation was authorized after officials determined the missile attack endangered personnel stationed abroad. Iranian state media reported the strikes but did not comment on casualties. The situation remains unresolved as diplomatic channels continue to be used to de‑escalate tensions.
