The United States has launched a new round of airstrikes against Iran after US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that two US service members were killed and another remains missing following an Iranian attack on a military base in Jordan.

The strikes, ordered by President Donald Trump, were described by CENTCOM as targeting military capabilities linked to threats against US forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran condemned the attacks and warned of further consequences as regional tensions continue to rise. 

Key developments

  • CENTCOM said the strikes targeted Iranian military infrastructure and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) assets.
