Credit: U.S. Central Command.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The U.S. military launched what it described as a \u201cheavy wave of strikes\u201d against Iranian targets on Wednesday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump warned Washington would be \u201chitting them hard\u201d in response to Tehran\u2019s recent attacks on American forces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">U.S. Central Command said the \u201cpowerful response,\u201d which lasted for some two hours, hit dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites across the Islamic Republic. According to CENTCOM, it struck military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, as well as maritime capabilities. The military said the strikes were intended to further reduce threats posed by the Islamic regime and its regional proxies to U.S. forces, commercial shipping and neighboring Gulf states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The operation followed what CENTCOM described as an \u201cattempted surprise attack\u201d on July 28, when the IRGC fired multiple ballistic missiles at U.S. forces across the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">All the Iranian missiles were intercepted and no casualties or damage was reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Earlier on Wednesday, Trump on threatened further military action against Iran in response to the renewed attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to beat the f***ing sh** out of them,\u201d Trump said in a phone interview with&nbsp;<i>Fox News<\/i>&nbsp;correspondent Trey Yingst. \u201cWe\u2019ll be hitting them hard. They\u2019re going to get a beating,\u201d the president added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The IRGC threatened on Thursday morning that \u201cthe aggressor will be punished today,\u201d adding that any country assisting the U.S. militarily would face a \u201charsh response,\u201d according to Iran\u2019s state-run&nbsp;<i>IRNA<\/i>&nbsp;outlet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Earlier on Thursday, the Islamic Republic launched missile and drone strikes on Jordan and Kuwait, the two countries said. The assault targeting Kuwait hit a building belonging to a Chinese company in northern Kuwait, the country\u2019s defense ministry said in a post on X. The attack killed a worker at the facility and inflicted \u201csignificant\u201d damage, the post added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In Jordan, air defenses intercepted five Iranian ballistic missiles on Thursday, a military source told the Hashemite Kingdom\u2019s official&nbsp;<i>Petra News Agency<\/i>. The missiles were shot down \u201cefficiently and professionally, resulting in the thwarting of the attempted targeting of the kingdom\u2019s territory, without any human casualties being recorded,\u201d the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Meanwhile, the Egyptian government said on Thursday that an initial investigation found that a drone caused a fire aboard two ships at Damietta Port in northern Egypt a day earlier. No party has claimed responsibility, but Iranian sources have told&nbsp;<i>The New York Times<\/i>&nbsp;that the attack was \u201cdesigned to show that global shipping and energy supplies could be more deeply disrupted if Iran chose to escalate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Tehran is widely presumed to be behind the drone strike.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States strikes dozens of IRGC sites in \u2018powerful response\u2019 to Iranian attacks JNS Staff The airstrikes came hours after Trump warned Washington would be \u201chitting them hard.\u201d A United States Air Force F-16 fighter jet patrols the skies over the Middle East, July 2026.
