After nearly four days of relative calm, signs of renewed tension have emerged in the Middle East. In a report published on July 29, 2026, citing Al Jazeera, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had struck US military facilities in Jordan. The IRGC claimed that an air base and a command center were targeted in the operation.

In its statement, the IRGC said resistance would continue as long as threats against Iran remained. Analysts said the wording marked a significant shift from earlier statements, which used terms such as aggression or attack. They viewed the use of the word threat as a possible indication of further retaliatory action in the future.

Local authorities also alleged a US attack on Piranshahr, a city in northwestern Iran near the Iraqi border. No official information on casualties was available. Observers said recent remarks by the US president and the stance of Tehran's military leadership suggested the situation could again move toward a larger conflict, with reciprocal actions increasing the risk of wider regional tension.
