> The U.S. embassies in Jerusalem, Jordan and Qatar urged Americans to remain highly vigilant and prepare for flight cancellations, airspace closures and travel disruptions as CENTCOM launched new strikes on IRGC targets in Iran. Trump said the attacks retaliated for an alleged Iranian attempt to place sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz and eight missiles fired at U.S. bases in Jordan, warning of a harsher response if Tehran retaliates.
