Iran launches new missile attacks
Iran launched a new barrage of missiles and drones toward American allies, including Jordan and Kuwait, with video showing missiles fired and Kuwait reporting engagement with Iranian drones. Jordan stated that of 13 Iranian missiles, 10 were intercepted, and three fell in remote areas. This comes after the US launched retaliatory strikes in response to Iran targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz and a US military base.
This escalation of hostilities between Iran and the US, involving direct attacks on US allies, signals a heightened risk of all-out war in the region, with potential for further military action and economic pressure impacting international stability.
The episode also covers President Trump's threats against Iran, the US economic squeeze on Iran leading to fuel shortages, and a State Department security alert for Americans in the region.
