NOTE: Alerts occasionally get activated in the UAE due to Iranian anti-ship launches towards the Strait of Hormuz.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 IRGC Statement:

‘Minutes ago, in response to the American-Zionist aggression against Larak Island, the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a joint missile and drone attack.

The operation was codenamed ‘Ya Muhammad ibn Abdullah’, and it targeted and destroyed maintenance infrastructure and enemy aircraft bases at two U.S. air bases in Jordan: King Hussein Air Base and Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Base. The operation involved ballistic missile strikes, inflicting significant damage.

The IRGC warns that this latest aggression and crime will not resolve the enemy's desperation to weaken the Islamic Republic's control over the Strait of Hormuz, and that every attack will be met with an even stronger response.‘

— 🇮🇷/🇯🇴/🇺🇸 WATCH: The IRGC Aerospace Force has released footage showing tonight’s ballistic missile strikes against U.S. bases in Jordan

Iranian response 2 hours after the initial U.S. attack, footage of the retaliation released less than ~1 hour after

Things certainly have changed.

—🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Iran:

‘The blockade has been unbelievable. The financial hits that we're giving them, we're hitting them very hard.

Nobody's ever been hit like this. They're a failing nation right now, and at the right point, we'll either win or they'll do something.

I don't mind winning. I don't need a signature on a piece of paper. But we're doing very well.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Iran:

‘They killed 52,000 protesters as of three months ago. Sadly, they've added very substantially to that list.

Even people that aren't protesting, they go into the houses and they take them and they shoot them.

These are very violent, evil people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, Israel would be gone.

If I weren't president, Israel would be gone. There would be no Israel. And there would probably be no Middle East.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

NOTE: Last night on Fox News, Trump stated Iran had killed 52,000 peaceful protesters.

This means Iran somehow killed an additional 48,000 protesters between last night and this morning.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 U.S. Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent:

‘The goal [of Operation Economic Outcast] is to create the conditions that will bring Iran to the table.

The President has been very clear. They have to give up their nuclear program, they have to turn over their enriched uranium, they have to stop the support of proxies, and they have to open the Strait of Hormuz.’
