The US Central Command said in a social media post that for over two hours the US had struck “dozens” of targets belonging to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including military command centers as well as missile and drone facilities, and coastal surveillance and defense sites.The new strikes came hours after US President Donald Trump vowed to hit Iran “very hard” after it targeted a base in Jordan that hosts US troops.Iranian state media said two people were wounded in attacks on the island of Qeshm in the Strait of Hormuz and that explosions were also reported in Khuzestan province to the northwest.The latest barrage came after the US and Saudi Arabia’s forces struck Iran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq.
