Revenge for the death of American soldiers: US carried out rapid air strikes on Iran. The main reason behind this missile attack on Jordan is believed to be the military action taken in the region recently. The US Army’s Central Command (CENTCOM) issued a statement on Sunday saying that it has launched rapid air strikes on Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) targets to deliver ‘severe and swift punishment’. In fact, in a recent attack on an American military base located in Jordan, two American soldiers were killed, one went missing and four were seriously injured. America has opened this counter front against Iran to take revenge for this and to protect the movement of oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Tension increased after the attack on the nuclear plant, UN expressed concern. Meanwhile, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has made very serious allegations against America. Iran claims that the US Air Force has carried out a brutal air attack on the ‘Darkovin Nuclear Power Plant’ being built in the south-western part of the country in violation of international laws. After this incident, the United Nations (UN) nuclear monitoring body has appealed to both the countries to exercise utmost restraint. Analysts believe that if this direct firing between America and Iran does not stop, the entire Middle East could be engulfed in a fierce regional war, which will have a direct impact on global oil prices and stock markets.
