# Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has launched retaliatory strikes on US targets in the Middle East. It targeted an airbase in Jordan hosting American forces, as well as Kuwait and Bahrain. This is in response to US strikes, which targeted air defence systems, ground control stations, and radar sites in Tehran, following the downing of an American helicopter on Monday. Iran says its forces remain fully prepared to deliver a crushing response to any subsequent US military actions, adding that Washington would bear full responsibility for the consequences of further escalation.
