US Central Command released new video said to show fighter jets launching what was described as a heavy wave of airstrikes against Iran, the first resumption of strikes for days, in retaliation for the recent missile attack on US forces here in Jordan. Now, what had already become a regional war has widened further. Smoke rose from a port in Egypt after drone strikes on two natural gas vessels, one of them American-owned. With the Strait of Hormuz still under siege, Iranian-backed Houthis threatening shipping channels in the Red Sea. The attack in Egypt raises concerns of yet another threat to global energy supplies. The renewed bombing runs by the US military followed joint strikes by Saudi Arabia and the US against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. Iran's state media reported three civilians killed in strikes on Qeshm Island. Jordanian officials tell CBS News five missiles fired once again toward the main base hosting US forces were all intercepted In a reflection of just how sensitive that attack in Egypt is, Iran's Foreign Minister accused Israel of a false flag operation tonight, calling Egypt a friend. Saying, "its security is an utmost priority for us." Matt? Charlie, thank you.
