Just a day after the Iranian missile attack on the American military base in Jordan, the fire of war between America and Iran has completely flared up. In the early hours of Thursday (July 30), the US Air Force, following President Donald Trump’s tough stance, launched rapid air strikes on several strategic targets in Iran. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed this military action and described it as a decisive and strong step taken for the security of American troops deployed in the Middle East. The Trump administration has made it clear that any attack on American targets will not be tolerated.
Explosions echoed near the nuclear plant: Many provinces of Iran were shaken.
As soon as the attacks by American fighter jets started, there was panic throughout Iran.

The greatest panic was seen in Bushehr province, where Iran’s only main nuclear power plant is located.

‘Now it’s our turn’—Trump’s direct warning and 5-day pause ends
Just before the attack, US President Donald Trump had given a strong message in the White House, saying that now it is America’s turn to respond. Trump claimed that Iran had requested not to attack Jordan, calling the fired missiles a mistake, which was rejected. “We will hit them very hard and they know very well what is going to happen,” Trump said in a stern tone. The five-day pause in attacks that America had taken since last Friday has now ended and military operations have been intensified again.
