A brief pause in tensions between Iran and the United States came to an abrupt end after both sides exchanged fresh military strikes across the Middle East. According to US Central Command (Centcom), Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at 17:45 EDT (21:45 GMT) on Tuesday in what it described as an attempted surprise attack. Centcom said all incoming missiles were "successfully intercepted," while Iran stated it had targeted a US military base in Jordan. In response, US and Saudi forces carried out strikes on what Centcom described as Iran-aligned militant logistics and weapons sites in eastern Iraq, citing repeated drone attacks linked to Iran-backed groups. The renewed hostilities have raised concerns about regional stability just days after President Donald Trump spoke of "very friendly negotiations" with Tehran. The escalation also renewed fears over energy supplies, with oil prices climbing as uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz intensified.
