Iran War

The U.S. military says it successfully intercepted an Iranian missile barrage and worked with Saudi Arabia’s forces to strike sites in Iraq that Tehran-backed militias have used to launch attacks in recent days. U.S. Central Command in a statement Tuesday says further attacks on American troops or Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure risked additional action and that U.S. forces “remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.” The U.S. and Iran had experienced a brief period of calm, during which neither announced attacks for days following weeks of escalation over the Strait of Hormuz. There was no immediate comment from Tehran on the U.S. military statement or the strikes.
