Iran has retaliated after the US launched an attack over the weekend on Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the southern part of the country. Iran responded by launching strikes at US sites in Jordan. This is the first time in a month that the US and Iran have exchanged fire.

Meanwhile, the crisis continues in Lebanon where more than 4,300 people have been killed since the latest assault by Israel that began in March. #Iran #LarakIsland #USwar #Trump #Israel #Lebanon
