Iran Launches Surprise Attack on US Base
29th July 2026
The US has said it successfully intercepted a “surprise attack” by Iran on American forces in the Middle East.
At this point, what constitutes a ‘surprise’?
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces “launched multiple ballistic missiles in an attempted surprise attack on US forces”, US Central Command said on Tuesday evening.
Perhaps the ‘surprise’ attack interrupted the usual attack.
