The United States has conducted bombings in Iran for the second time in a week, targeting assets of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This action comes amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route.

In response to these bombings, Iran has attacked U.S. bases in Jordan. The Revolutionary Guard issued a statement confirming the attacks as retaliation for Washington's actions.

U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on the situation, stating that negotiations are "a waste of paper" and warned of possible "greater attacks" if Tehran reacts to the bombings.

The actions of both sides reflect an escalation in regional tensions, with potential implications for stability in the area, particularly in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
