Update:
Later, the same report appeared on Axios:
Machine translation: An American official tells Axios that the U.S. military began conducting airstrikes in Iran on Wednesday.

Why it matters: This is the first U.S. airstrikes in Iran since Donald Trump, the President of the United States, halted the bombing campaign last Friday to give negotiations another chance.

The strikes on Wednesday were in retaliation for an Iranian missile attack the day before that targeted a U.S. base in Jordan. According to the U.S. military, all missiles were intercepted.

News angle: Trump told reporters on Wednesday afternoon that the U.S. would target Iran "very hard" later that same day.

Trump said, "Now it's our turn."

Trump claimed that Iran has acknowledged that the missile launches were a mistake and has asked the U.S. not to retaliate.

Big picture: After 13 consecutive nights of attacks on Iranian military targets, Trump had paused the strikes to create a brief opportunity for diplomacy.

The Iranian missile attack shattered that pause and prompted Trump to resume the military campaign five days later.
