US Launches New Airstrikes on Iran After Confirming Troop Deaths

CENTCOM said the latest attack hit Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces and military sites after two U.S. service members were killed in Jordan.

  • On Sunday, the U.S. military launched its eighth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, aiming to "swiftly punish" the country for an attack in Jordan that killed two American service members.
  • Fighting between Iran and the United States resumed last week, with Iranian forces launching missiles and drones across the Middle East, including strikes on Iraq and Kuwait that triggered the U.S. response.
  • Central Command reported that strikes hit Iranian coastal surveillance, air defense facilities, and missile storage sites, as U.S. service member deaths in the five-month conflict reached 16.
  • Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei accused Washington of violating their agreement in a written statement, deriding the U.S. president's signature as "worthless" and calling the United States the "Great Satan."
  • Israeli officials are closely monitoring the conflict while preparing "surprises" for Tehran, though the military prefers remaining on the sidelines unless Iranian forces directly attack Israeli territory.
