📡 Iranian media circulated claims that U.S. ships had been targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, though no independent confirmation was provided. Separate unconfirmed reports alleged that Iranian artillery or missile fire targeted a U.S. radar installation in Erbil, Iraq.
❗️ IRAN WARNS FURTHER STRIKES COULD END NEGOTIATIONS: Al Arabiya, citing a Pakistani source, reported that Iran and the United States remain far apart on a possible agreement and that no breakthrough was expected on Wednesday. Iranian sources speaking to Al-Jazeera warned that additional attacks would end negotiations entirely.
🛰️ The Iranian Armed Forces announced that they would issue a formal statement following what they described as “the U.S. crime and the breach of the ceasefire.” An Iranian military source cited by Tasnim News warned that any additional American military action would trigger further retaliation and stated that Iranian forces remained prepared for continued confrontation. The source also rejected the concept of “controlled escalation,” describing it as unrealistic.
🚀 IRAN CLAIMS BALLISTIC MISSILE STRIKES ON U.S. BASES IN THE REGION: The IRGC claimed responsibility for launching 12 ballistic missiles at Muwaffaq Al Salti Air Base in Jordan, where American forces are stationed. According to the statement, the missiles targeted facilities hosting U.S. F-35, F-15, and F-16 aircraft, along with command infrastructure at Al-Azraq Air Base.
📍 The IRGC additionally claimed strikes against Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, Ali Al Salem Air Base, Naval Support Activity Bahrain, and Sheikh Isa Air Base. Jordan’s military stated that it intercepted 20 ballistic missiles launched toward the Al-Azraq area. Additional interceptions were reported near Muwaffaq Al Salti Air Base, while at least six explosions were reported over Amman.
🏘️ Iranian projectiles were also detected over Jordanian territory, prompting the U.S. Embassy in Amman to instruct American citizens to seek immediate shelter.
🚨 REGIONAL ALERTS AND AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS: Bahrain activated new air raid alerts following the missile activity. Kuwait closed its airspace until further notice amid the regional security situation. Israel stated that it was not involved in the renewed fighting at this stage.
🛬 ADDITIONAL IRANIAN MILITARY CLAIMS: The IRGC claimed that Iranian air defense forces fired a missile at a U.S. Air Force F-16 over the Persian Gulf, forcing the aircraft to take evasive action. Iranian military spokesman Brigadier General Abu al-Fadl Shakarchi dismissed reports that Iran’s air defense systems had been significantly degraded, arguing that battlefield conditions — rather than media reports — should be considered the primary measure of military effectiveness.
🤝 CEASEFIRE STATUS AND DIPLOMATIC SIGNALS REMAIN UNCERTAIN: CNN reported that negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue despite the overnight exchange of strikes. President Trump stated that additional bombing would follow if no agreement is reached, while the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the latest American strikes had rendered the ceasefire “practically meaningless.”
📉 President Trump later claimed that the strikes could stop soon after Iranian diplomats allegedly sought a renewed ceasefire. Iranian officials speaking to IRIB denied that any contact with President Trump had occurred since fighting resumed. Separately, Polymarket data showed the probability of a peace agreement being reached by the end of July declining to 31%.
