Today at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time (Sunday, 28 Tir at 01:30 a.m. Iran time), U.S. forces, at the order of the Commander-in-Chief, began a new wave of airstrikes against Iran. These strikes are intended to further weaken Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and to respond quickly to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces that, last night, attacked U.S. military forces in Jordan.
