U.S. launches fresh airstrikes in Iran
ONP 요약
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would respond forcefully to an Iranian missile attack on American forces in Jordan, while also indicating that diplomatic talks would continue. The statement followed a series of Iranian strikes on U.S. military installations in the region and was accompanied by U.S. airstrikes on Iran-backed militias in Iraq coordinated with the Iraqi government.

The U.S. military began conducting airstrikes in Iran on Wednesday evening, U.S. Central Command confirmed in a statement.
Why it matters: These are the first U.S. strikes in Iran since President Trump paused the bombing campaign Friday to give negotiations another chance.
Wednesday's strikes came in retaliation for an Iranian missile attack targeting a U.S. base in Jordan on Tuesday. All of the Iranian missiles were intercepted, according to the U.S. military.
"The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East," CENTCOM said.
Driving the news: Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon that the U.S. would hit Iran "very hard" later in the day.
"It's our turn," Trump said.
He claimed Iran had acknowledged that launching the missiles was a mistake and had asked the U.S. not to retaliate.
The big picture: Trump paused the strikes Friday after 13 consecutive nights of attacks on Iranian military targets, opening a brief window for diplomacy.
Iran's missile attack shattered the pause and prompted Trump to resume the military campaign five days later.
