US Launches New Strikes on Iran After Deadly Jordan Attack

The United States launched a fresh wave of airstrikes against Iranian military targets early Sunday, saying the operation was in response to an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan that killed two American service members, left another missing and wounded several others. U.S. Central Command said the strikes targeted facilities linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including missile, air defense and military infrastructure, as Washington continued a campaign aimed at reducing Iran's military capabilities. Iranian authorities reported casualties and damage from the attacks while warning that further military action would draw additional retaliation.

The renewed strikes came as fighting expanded across the Gulf region following the collapse of an interim ceasefire that had briefly reduced hostilities. Iranian missile and drone attacks have targeted U.S. military positions and regional partners, while the United States has continued strikes inside Iran and maintained pressure on maritime activity around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil shipping routes. Regional governments have increased security measures, and the growing conflict has disrupted transportation, energy infrastructure and commercial shipping, heightening concerns over global energy supplies and broader economic effects.
