The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired multiple ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East Tuesday at 5:45 PM Eastern. Every single one was intercepted. Then America and Saudi Arabia hit back \u2014 hard.<\/i><\/p>\n
CENTCOM confirmed it in two posts that together tell the complete story<\/strong><\/p>\n of what this administration\u2019s Iran policy actually looks like in practice. First: all Iranian missiles successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness. Second: U.S. and Saudi fighter aircraft conducted precision strikes across eastern Iraq, targeting IRGC-directed terrorist logistics and weapons sites responsible for more than 30 drone attacks in the previous 72 hours.<\/p>\n The IRGC fired. We intercepted everything. Then we destroyed their proxy infrastructure in Iraq. That\u2019s the sequence. That\u2019s the policy.<\/p>\n The scale of what Iran has been attempting in the region deserves to be stated plainly. From February through April 2026 alone, Iran-aligned terrorist militias in Iraq made more than 600 attempted attacks on U.S. citizens and facilities. Six hundred. In three months. These are not isolated incidents or freelance operations. This is a coordinated, IRGC-directed sustained campaign against American forces \u2014 the same forces that are simultaneously managing negotiations, enforcing no-fly zones, and projecting American power across a region that Iran has spent 47 years trying to dominate.<\/p>\n And now Iran is firing ballistic missiles at those forces directly, from Iranian soil, while simultaneously sitting at a negotiating table and asking for sanctions relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired multiple ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the Middle East Tuesday at 5:45 PM Eastern.
