Saling Gempur! AS Hantam 80 Target Militer Iran, Teheran Balas Rudal 85 Pangkalan Washington

TRIBUNCIREBON.COM - The geopolitical situation in the Persian Gulf and Middle East has flared up again after the United States and Iran engaged in a massive exchange of attacks on Wednesday (July 8, 2026). Tensions began when US Central Command (CENTCOM) launched fighter jets and missiles to strike more than 80 military targets in Iranian territory. This US attack targeted air defense systems, command networks, coastal radars, and dozens of speedboats belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) around the Strait of Hormuz, under the pretext of securing international trade routes. Not remaining silent, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps immediately launched a joint operation using missiles and drones that struck at least 85 US military facilities in the Middle East. Two vital Washington bases, the US Fifth Fleet Base in Bahrain and Ali Al-Salim Air Base in Kuwait, were the primary targets. Seeing the increasingly uncontrollable escalation, the Chinese government, through Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning, urged both sides to exercise restraint, cease the use of military force, and return to diplomacy to prevent a wider war.
