US forces intercept Iranian ballistic missile attack in Middle East

US Central Command reported that Iranian forces launched several ballistic missiles targeting American military bases in the Middle East, but all incoming missiles were successfully intercepted. The attack by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps occurred during ongoing, mediated negotiations between Washington and Tehran regarding regional security.

US President Donald Trump reiterated that while talks are underway, failure to reach an agreement could lead to a resumption of "very strong military action." Trump also indicated he plans to question Russian President Vladimir Putin over whether Moscow provided satellite imagery of US installations to Iran.

Concurrently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described his recent White House meeting with Trump as a crucial step to "activate the diplomatic process," following a visit to Kyiv by American political commentator Laura Loomer aimed at shifting perspectives within Washington political circles.
