The US military carried out fresh strikes in Iran, according to Deutsche Welle, in response to Iranian strikes on US forces a day earlier. This action follows a threat by Trump to hit Iran 'very hard' in response to its strikes. The US strikes are described as a 'powerful response' to the attacks on its forces.
The strikes were confirmed by the US military, with Trump having previously stated that the US would be hitting Iran 'very hard', as reported by CBS News. Additionally, Trump threatened to give Iran 'a beating', as stated by CBSNews.com. The targets of the US strikes included Iran's Revolutionary Guards, according to The Times of Israel.
The US-Iran conflict has escalated in recent days, with the latest strikes being the latest development in a series of exchanges between the two nations. The background to this escalation is not fully detailed in the available sources, but it is clear that the situation remains highly tense.
