It said the Revolutionary Guard “and its terrorist proxies must cease these attacks to avoid further U.S. military response.” Saudi Arabia said earlier Tuesday that it for a second day shot down drones fired by Iran-backed militias in Iraq, which had attempted to target petroleum facilities in the nation’s eastern region.

Posted: Jul 28, 2026 / 07:19 PM EDT Updated: Jul 28, 2026 / 07:23 PM EDT WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at American forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, shattering a brief pause in fighting as mediators tried to get both sides back to negotiations and toward a ceasefire, the U.S. military said. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement, adding that U.S. forces “remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness.” The United States and Iran had experienced a period of calm, during which neither announced attacks for days following weeks of escalation over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf waterway and narrow chokepoint through which 20% of the world’s oil normally flows. There was no immediate comment from Tehran on the U.S. military statement or the strikes.
