Let's get briefed.
First up, the tit-for-tat between Washington and Tehran continues.
After U.S.
forces struck Iranian military targets last night, Iran has now launched missiles and drones at American bases in the region.
How's that ceasefire working out?
We'll have the latest details.
Later in the show, Taiwan fires HIMARS rockets from a beach facing China, giving the world a glimpse of how it possibly plans to repel a future invasion.
But first, today's afternoon spotlight.
Iran has responded to last night's strikes, which, of course, followed the regime's downing of U.S.
helicopter, launching missiles and drones at U.S.
military installations across the Middle East in the latest escalation between Washington and Tehran.
According to U.S.
and regional officials, Iranian forces targeted American positions in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain overnight.
Jordan's military says it intercepted five missiles headed toward the Azraq region, home to a major air base used by U.S.
forces.
Kuwait's military reported intercepting hostile targets, while Bahrain said its air defenses successfully repelled incoming attacks.
A U.S.
official told the New York Times that Iran launched multiple missiles and drones against American bases, but nearly all were intercepted.
As of this recording, there have been no reports of American casualties or significant damage to U.S.
facilities.
