Iran attacks US forces after Trump halted strikes

In late July 2026, Iran launched its first attack on US forces since President Trump halted American strikes, with missiles being intercepted. The attack came amid an ongoing US-Israel military campaign against Iran, during which Iran reported that 350 government employees were killed and that US strikes destroyed an airport and damaged 12 bridges. Iran also admitted to major infrastructure damage from the US strikes. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu planned to show President Trump evidence of Iranian activity in Pickaxe Mountain, and US Defense Minister Katz confirmed that US Air Force planes took off from Israel to strike Iran. Trump stated that the US is aware of Iran's nuclear developments without Israel's input.
