The command reported that it conducted &#8220;precise&#8221; strikes on Tuesday, July 28, against Iran-linked terrorists directed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to target US forces and Saudi energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>American and Saudi combat aircraft attacked multiple logistic facilities and weapons depots utilized by terrorists in eastern Iraq, according to the official statement. CENTCOM emphasized that this was a &#8220;strong response to over 30 drone attacks carried out over the past 72 hours on the orders of the IRGC,&#8221; adding that the unjustified attacks targeting US forces ended in failure.<\/p>\n<h4>Escalating Tensions and Previous Incidents<\/h4>\n<p>According to the Command, between February and April 2026, Iran-linked terrorist militias carried out over 600 attempted attacks on US citizens and facilities in Iraq. In an earlier statement, CENTCOM reported that Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles on Tuesday toward US armed forces in the Middle East, though all rockets were intercepted.<\/p>\n<p>Citing an official US source, Axios reported that Iran launched ballistic missiles toward an American base in Jordan, marking the first Iranian missile attack on a US base since Friday, July 24, when US President Donald Trump halted daily strikes on targets in Iran following requests from mediating nations to give negotiations another chance.<\/p>\n<h4>Internal Washington Dynamics<\/h4>\n<p>According to CNN and Axios, Vice President JD Vance, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, and CENTCOM Commander General Brad Cooper were reportedly instrumental in halting the operations. They had warned Trump against unpredictable consequences, uncontrolled Iranian retaliation, and munitions depletion.<\/p>\n<p>From Washington, Natalia Dziurdzi\u0144ska (PAP).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following over thirty drone strikes directed by the IRGC, US and Saudi Arabian warplanes executed precise airstrikes on militant logistical facilities and weapon depots in eastern Iraq.
