Iran attacked US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan with drones and missiles Wednesday\u00a0in retaliation for American strikes\u00a0on Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz, according to its Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/p>\n

The tit-for-tat strikes are among the biggest exchanges between the two warring countries since the pair agreed to a ceasefire in April and came after Iran\u00a0shot down an American Apache helicopter Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Nearly all of the Iranian missiles and drones were intercepted\u00a0and\u00a0there were no immediate reports of\u00a0deaths or injuries to US personnel or damage to US facilities, an anonymous US official confirmed to Reuters.<\/p>\n

President Trump had vowed a \u201cvery strong, very powerful\u201d response for the downed chopper, \u201cand that\u2019s what this one is,\u201d Trump told ABC News on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The latest escalation threatens a potential deal between\u00a0US\u00a0and Iran to end the conflict, which\u00a0just\u00a0passed 100 days since the US-Israeli joint strikes on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

Trump claimed that Iran\u2019s military had been \u201ccompletely defeated,\u201d in a Truth Social post early Wednesday morning \u2014 and blamed Iran for stalling negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They\u2019ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for\u00a0them,\u00a0now they will have to pay the price!!!\u201d the President wrote.<\/p>\n

The latest US strikes targeted Iranian air defense, ground control stations and surveillance radar sites, according to the US military. They lasted around four hours and hit almost 20 Iranian targets, a US official said.<\/p>\n

Tehran, in response, accused the US of repeatedly violating a ceasefire agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei claimed, has undermined the peace negotiations with continued strikes and its constantly changing positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing overnight events, we need to\u00a0re-assess\u00a0(the diplomatic path with Washington) \u2026 any diplomatic process requires a minimum stable environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had attacked US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan with drones and missiles in response to the new \u201cUS aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four sites were targeted at the US al-Azraq base in Jordan using long-range missiles, including F-35 fighter jet hangars and a command-and-control center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The IRGC warned it was ready to deliver a \u201ccrushing and decisive\u201d response to any further US attack.<\/p>\n

Jordan and Kuwait\u2019s military said it shot down Iranian missiles and drones Wednesday, while Bahrain officials said its air defenses had repelled Iranian attacks.<\/p>\n

Two American pilots were rescued Tuesday after a US Apache helicopter was shot down near the Strait of Hormuz by an Iranian attack drone.<\/p>\n

Trump confirmed the crash while speaking to reporters at New York\u2019s JFK Airport and said the pilots were \u201cfine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u00a0injured. We are going to issue a report tomorrow, but the pilots are fine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
