U.S. Completes Ninth Wave of Strikes on Iran Following Deaths of American Troops in Jordan and Iraq
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that American forces completed a ninth straight wave of strikes against military targets in Iran on Sunday night.
President Donald Trump paid tribute to the U.S. service members killed in recent Iran-linked attacks, saying the latest strikes were carried out “in honor” of the fallen troops.
According to CENTCOM, two American service members were killed in Jordan last week in an attack linked to Iran-backed forces. A third U.S. troop was killed in Iraq on Saturday.
The latest military operation is part of an ongoing U.S. response following the deaths of American personnel. However, officials have not released detailed information regarding the specific targets or the extent of the damage caused by the latest strikes.
Washington has maintained that it will continue taking action to protect U.S. forces and respond to attacks against its personnel. The latest escalation has also raised concerns about increasing tensions across the Middle East.
