On Thursday, July 30th, 2026, U.S. Central Command released new video footage showing fighter jets conducting what it described as a "heavy wave" of strikes against Iran. This marked the first resumption of such strikes in several days. The U.S. stated that these actions were in direct retaliation for a recent missile attack targeting U.S. forces in Jordan.

The escalation highlights the widening conflict involving the U.S. and Iran, with regional implications including Egyptian interests. Charlie D'Agata reported on the developments for CBS Politics.
