An unidentified US official said the Iranian attacks targeting US forces in Jordan did not cause significant damage. The official added the defenses intercepted all Iranian missiles launched toward American force.
According to Axios, citing a US source, American forces targeted Iranian military sites to prevent the deployment of sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The source said the US action was aimed at preventing Iranian forces from laying mines that could pose a threat to navigation in the strait.
In response, Iran launched ballistic missiles toward a US base in Jordan, retaliating against the US strike on Iranian sites linked to mine-laying operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
