The United States launched a coordinated airstrike campaign against military targets in southern Iran on Thursday, a move that followed President Donald Trump's abrupt decision to suspend diplomatic talks with Tehran.
The strikes reportedly hit several strategic sites, including missile launch facilities and air defense batteries, according to U.S. officials. The operation was carried out by a mix of fighter jets and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) condemned the attacks, calling them a violation of Iran's sovereignty and threatening retaliatory measures. Tehran's foreign ministry issued a statement warning of severe consequences.
The move has heightened tensions in the region, with neighboring Gulf states expressing concern over potential escalation. International observers urge both sides to exercise restraint and return to dialogue.
