US Military Foils Surprise Iranian Missile Attack on American Troops
The US military thwarted an Iranian missile attack on American forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, successfully intercepting all ballistic missiles.
This surprise attack occurred as mediators were trying to get both sides back to negotiations after a brief pause in fighting.
The US Central Command confirmed that all Iranian missiles were intercepted, and US forces 'remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.'
The recent escalation of tensions between the US and Iran had led to concerns over the safety of oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway in the Persian Gulf.
