Event Summary

On July 28-29, 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched several ballistic missiles at US military bases and a Central Command facility in Jordan, escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. US President Donald Trump vowed a forceful response, stating the US would 'beat the f**king sh*t out' of Iran. US and Jordanian air defenses intercepted the missiles, preventing casualties. In retaliation, US Central Command (CENTCOM) and Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabian Armed Forces conducted joint precision strikes on Iran-aligned militant sites in Iraq, targeting logistics and weapons facilities used by the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). CENTCOM reported over 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks in the prior 72 hours and claimed more than 600 attempted attacks by Iran-aligned groups between February and April 2026. The US also enforces a naval blockade on Iran. The event marks a significant escalation in US-Iran hostilities, with potential impacts on global oil markets and regional stability.
