According to CoinMeta, investment and live reporting, the United States launched airstrikes against Iran for the first time in over a month, leading to renewed tensions in the Middle East. On Sunday, the U.S. military struck Iran's Larak Island after observing that personnel on the island were preparing to launch rockets equipped with mines. In response, Iran fired ballistic missiles and anti-ship cruise missiles from multiple provinces and attacked two U.S. military bases in Jordan. U.S. sources stated that nearly all of the incoming missiles were intercepted, with no significant impacts occurring. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed to have destroyed the aircraft maintenance infrastructure at both bases. Trump tweeted on social media that Iran's Kark Island was being "blown to pieces." If this is true, it would represent a significant escalation of the situation. The U.S. Treasury Secretary indicated that Washington may announce new sanctions against Iran every week, initially focusing on banks.
