Iran fires missiles at US military bases in Iraq; Trump threatens resumed strikes if deal not reached
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they carried out missile strikes targeting US military bases in the region, calling the action retaliatory. CNN's Alayna Treene reported that air defenses were activated in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, and that explosions were heard across Iran, including near the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump warned that US forces could resume attacks later Thursday if a memorandum of understanding is not finalized, and he has not ruled out targeting critical infrastructure.
