By early Wednesday, it had launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at a US Marine base in Jordan&#8217;s Aqaba in retaliation for the Sirik attack, according to Iran&#8217;s semi-official Tasnim news agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The Jordanian Armed Forces said it had intercepted 13 ballistic missiles, 10 of which were destroyed, while three fell in remote areas. There were no deaths or injuries as a result of the attack from Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The network also said that the country&#8217;s national security centre had warned residents of the Aqaba and Mafraq governorates of falling debris, adding that the warning had since ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Separately, the Kuwait army said its air defences were responding to Iranian missile attacks early Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Several explosions were also reported in Bahrain following attacks by Iran, according to Iranian state media. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Donald Trump, when the US strikes were announced on Tuesday afternoon, warned that Iran would be hit again at &#8220;a much harder and higher level&#8221; if it retaliated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The attack follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cx2z72x5z1po\" class=\"ssrcss-1e0jzsh-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\">the first known US strikes on Iran since late July<\/a> earlier this week, when forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait. Tehran retaliated by firing missiles at air bases in Jordan and a drone at the UAE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Centcom said US forces had begun striking IRGC targets at 12:00 ET (16:00 GMT), and had completed the strikes by early Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Iranian state media reported projectiles had hit the areas of Chabahar and Konarak and an airport in Jiroft, and that explosions were heard in Qeshm island and Bandar Abbas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">US Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, speaking on behalf of Centcom, told the BBC it was aware of reports from Iranian state media of the attack in Sirik.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He added: &#8220;The US military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cj06q4ynpmjo?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran has launched attacks at US military bases in Iraq and Jordan, according to local state media and the Jordanian Armed Forces, after American forces resumed strikes against Iran on Tuesday.
