> Explosions were reported across Iran after CENTCOM announced strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets. The IRGC said it had begun retaliatory attacks on US bases and assets in the region, while Jordan said it intercepted 10 of 13 Iranian ballistic missiles entering its airspace. Trump warned Iran would face even stronger strikes if it retaliated.
