Iran Launches Missiles at US Forces, Shattering Ceasefire Pause

Iran fired multiple ballistic missiles at US forces in the Middle East late Tuesday, ending a brief pause in fighting that had raised hopes of negotiations. US Central Command says it intercepted the attack, which it called a deliberate "surprise" strike by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The assault came as Saudi Arabia simultaneously struck Iran-backed groups in Iraq in coordination with the US military, widening the conflict's regional footprint.
