美国中央司令部报告称，伊朗发射的多枚弹道导弹已全部被成功拦截[1][2][3]。在此基础上，美国与沙特阿拉伯随即联合对伊拉克东部伊朗支持的民兵组织进行空袭，打击其武器和后勤据点[1][3]。这一军事行动打破了持续数天的停火局面。
此次军事冲突的触发源于过去72小时内伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发动的30多次无人机攻击[1][2][3]。沙特表示遭到来自伊拉克的无人机攻击，目标指向其石油设施，并已连续第二天击落相关无人机[1][3]。沙特国防部发表声明强调，王国"不寻求升级，但将应对面临的任何侵略"[3]。特朗普对媒体表示伊朗知道他会"完成任务"如果伊朗领导人不达成协议[1]。
自特朗普2月下令对伊朗进行打击以来，至少624名美军士兵受伤，其中417名伤亡与"英勇行动"联合美以军事行动相关[2]。最近的战斗中美国已有4名士兵阵亡[1]，数十名部队伤员[1]。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡访问华盛顿期间与特朗普举行了近90分钟的会晤，被描述为"积极和富有成效的"[3]，内塔尼亚胡称这是"我与美国总统进行过的最好的谈话之一"[3]。
The United States military successfully intercepted multiple ballistic missiles fired by Iran at American positions in the Middle East, according to Central Command.[1][2][3] In response, the US and Saudi Arabia conducted joint airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed militia positions and weapons caches in eastern Iraq.[1][3] These military operations shattered a brief ceasefire that had held for several days.
The Iranian attack came as retaliation for sustained American military pressure. Over the preceding 72 hours, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had launched more than 30 drone strikes against American and allied positions.[1][2][3] The timing of the escalation, occurring at 17:45 Eastern Time on Tuesday (21:45 GMT), marked a significant deterioration in regional tensions.[2] Saudi Arabia reported that it had shot down drones originating from Iraqi territory for the second consecutive day, with drone attacks targeting oil facilities in the Sharqiya and Riyadh regions.[3]
The American death toll from recent fighting has continued to mount. Four US soldiers were killed in combat, with dozens more wounded.[1] Since President Trump ordered strikes against Iran in February, at least 624 American service members have been injured, including 417 whose injuries were connected to joint US-Israeli military operations.[2] The Saudi Defense Ministry stated that "the Kingdom emphasizes it does not seek escalation but will respond to any aggression it faces."[3] The US cautioned that further attacks could prompt additional military action.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Washington for a nearly 90-minute meeting with Trump, which he described as "one of the best conversations I have had with the American president."[3] The encounter was characterized as "positive and productive."[3] Israeli elections are scheduled for October 27, 2026.[3]
