Iran launches missilesIran launches missiles in response to reported U.S. strikes
Iran launched missiles on Saturday in response to reported U.S. strikes that occurred earlier in the day. The strikes took place in the Middle East, prompting immediate retaliatory action from Iranian forces.
This escalation matters because it signals a potential shift from targeted operations to open military conflict between the two nations.
US-Iran-Israel War
A tentative peace deal between the United States and Iran collapsed on June 28, 2026, after Iran accused the US of violating the agreement, triggering renewed missile exchanges and strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain. Despite this escalation, both nations agreed to halt attacks and renew talks later that same day to address the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, yet renewed hostilities erupted just hours later on June 29. The US retaliated against Iranian sites following an oil tanker attack attributed to Iran, while Iranian missiles struck US targets in response to reported strikes near the vital waterway.
