JAKARTA - The United States has launched another attack on Iran under the pretext of retaliating for an "Iranian attack attempt" on US forces in the Middle East, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
"US forces began launching attacks on Iran at 20:00 ET today (Thursday, 07:00 WIB). The attack was a harsh response to Iran's attempt to attack US forces in the Middle East yesterday," said CENTCOM via social media X as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, July 30.
The attack came after US President Donald Trump promised a "very tough" response after a drone hit an US-owned LNG tanker in Egypt.
"We're going to hit them very hard, because now it's our turn to hit them. They know our response is coming," Trump said.
Tensions between Iran and the US have escalated again in recent weeks. Following the US attack on Iran, Iran retaliated by attacking US military facilities and installations in a number of countries in the Gulf region.
