Iran Launches 30 Drones at Israeli Air Base in Negev; US Responds with Missile Strike

On September 2, 2026, Iran launched 30 drones at an Israeli air base in the Negev region. The United States retaliated with a missile strike targeting Iranian military assets in eastern Syria. The attacks marked a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.

Iranian state media reported that the drones were launched from the eastern province of Khorasan and targeted the Israeli air base in the Negev, a strategic location near the border with Jordan. The Israeli military confirmed the attack but did not specify the number of drones or the extent of damage. In response, the U.S. military conducted a missile strike on Iranian military installations in eastern Syria, according to a statement from the Pentagon. The strike reportedly targeted a command center linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The attacks have raised fears of further escalation in the region.
