Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at US Forces in Middle East

The US military has confirmed that Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, but all were successfully intercepted.

This incident comes after a brief pause in fighting between the two countries, and as mediators tried to get both sides back to negotiations towards a ceasefire.

The US and Iran had experienced a period of calm over the weekend, with neither announcing attacks for days following weeks of escalation over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which is a key waterway through which 20% of the world's oil normally flows.
