Iran has launched strikes against American military bases across the Middle East. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims it hit at least six facilities in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman.
This action marks a significant escalation in the 2026 Iran war. It follows the collapse of a recent ceasefire and renewed U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets.
The military exchange severely complicates diplomatic efforts. The likelihood of reaching a U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement by the August 13 deadline appears diminished. Key figures to watch include former President Donald Trump, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Omani mediators.
