# The US Central Command says Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at American bases in the region, in what amounted to a “surprise attack”. All the missiles were intercepted. In retaliation, Centcom says the US military and Saudi Arabian forces conducted joint precision strikes “against Iran-aligned terrorists” in Iraq. It says the strikes targeted groups that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps directed to attack American forces and Saudi energy infrastructure. Iran has repeatedly targeted Saudi Arabia throughout the war, but has largely refrained from a military response.
