US Launches Strikes on Iran After Missile Attack on Forces in Jordan

The U.S. started attacking Iran today around 8 PM in response to Iran repeatedly attacking U.S. forces in the Middle East, according to the U.S. Central Command. 

Several Iranian missiles were intercepted on Tuesday in Jordan, and President Donald Trump told Fox News that the U.S. will “beat the f****** s***“ out of Iran because of those attacks. 

U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. ET today. The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.

🚫 CLAIM: After recently threatening and attempting to attack commercial vessels and innocent mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) continues to claim that international mariners should only use routes the IRGC prefers.
