Iran Attacks US Forces, Jordan, UAE

As we reported, on Sunday, U.S. forces hit rocket launchers on Larak Island. 

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) smacked down the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declare that this was an act of aggression. They explained that this was to stop the IRGC from inserting new mines in the Strait of Hormuz and hitting ships. 

🚫CLAIM: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed in a latest assertion that strikes by U.S. forces to stop the IRGC from inserting mines in the Strait of Hormuz had been an “act of aggression.” This declare is totally FALSE.

As we reported:

Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for Central Command, said that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps forces had been noticed making ready to launch rockets armed with mines from Larak Island into the waters of the encompassing strait, a important transport waterway for oil and gasoline.

“In essence, Iran created the threat, and the U.S. military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce,” CENTCOM said.

This got here after the U.S. had already demined the Strait to make the best way clear for transport. 

Iran then launched assaults on Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The Iranian regime claimed it attacked King Hussein and Al-Azraq air bases (that the U.S. makes use of). It also  claimed it destroyed “technical and maintenance infrastructure and the enemy’s fighter jets’ deployment sites.” 

The IRGC also said it focused U.S. navy personnel on an air base in the United Arab Emirates.

But as is typical with Iran, the reality is considerably different from what it claims. 

The Jordanian Armed Forces said Sunday it intercepted eight missiles that had entered the nation’s airspace, according to Jordan’s Al-Mamlaka TV broadcaster. 

A spokesperson for the navy said all eight missiles had been destroyed before they might do any harm, according to the broadcaster.

An individual acquainted with the assault also confirmed to CBS News the missiles had been intercepted, although they didn’t specify how many.

Then, the UAE also knocked down the Iranian claims. 

In a short assertion, the Defense Ministry said it “dealt with” an Iranian drone that was detected over its waters approaching from Iran. There had been no stories of harm.

The UAE Defense Ministry later issued a second assertion denying a declare by the Iranian military that the Al Minhad Air Base in Dubai had been focused, saying it was false.

President Donald Trump also posted a video about an assault on Kharg Island, one thing he has talked about in the past, with an AI-generated video. There is no current assault, so this seems to be a menace meant to ship a message to Iran if it continues to act badly.

🚨 ALERT: President Trump makes a post about Iran’s “Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!!”

But the video is AI slop. So I’ve no concept what to do with this info.

But as of yet, I’ve no cause to imagine Kharg is definitely under fire. pic.twitter.com/bkPXx2omag
