CENTCOM said it completed a heavy two-hour wave of strikes on dozens of IRGC targets in Iran—command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and maritime sites—after Iran’s attempted ballistic missile attack on U.S. forces in Jordan broke a brief pause in the air campaign.

AP, Reuters and Iranian state media reported CENTCOM’s 29–30 July 2026 announcement ending a multi-day operational pause after the public 13-night campaign. The strikes responded to an IRGC ballistic missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan (all intercepted per U.S./Jordanian accounts). Iranian officials reported explosions and limited civilian harm in Hormozgan and Khuzestan (Qeshm injuries; multi-site claims). This package is the U.S. campaign night as announced, not each provincial casualty claim.

Verification: Confirmed

Evidence: US launches strikes on Iranian targets a day after it foiled missile attack on American forces, US military says latest strikes on Iran last two hours, hitting IRGC targets, US resumes aggression against Iran; CENTCOM announces new strikes

Confirmed multi-outlet coverage of CENTCOM’s heavy-wave statement; individual Iranian site BDA and civilian tallies remain partial/party claims.
