CENTCOM said US forces began striking IRGC targets in southern Iran around midday US Eastern time, including air defence, radar, maritime, mine-laying and communications sites, citing attempted IRGC attacks on shipping and US troops; Trump called the strikes 'large and powerful'. Iranian officials said the strikes killed at least 11 people, including guests at a wedding in Kuhestak, and the US denied targeting civilians. Iran fired missiles and drones at US sites in Jordan, Bahrain and Iraq, and Jordan said it intercepted 10 of 13 missiles; it was the heaviest US-Iran exchange since late July and followed weeks in which Washington had relied on sanctions.
