The United States launched a new wave of strikes against targets in Iran, including military and civilian sites as well as a nuclear facility under construction, according to Iranian authorities, as Iran expanded its missile and drone attacks to include Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.
The escalation has brought hostilities to levels approaching those seen during the peak of the conflict.
The Israeli military said that Israeli and Jordanian forces intercepted an Iranian missile heading toward the southern Jordanian port city of Aqaba, near Israel’s border. According to the military, this was the first time since the latest round of fighting began that Iranian missiles had reached the area.
Meanwhile, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it conducted strikes early Sunday, marking the eighth consecutive night of US operations against targets in Iran.
According to CENTCOM, the strikes targeted Iranian coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, naval assets, and sites used to store missiles and drones. The command said the operation was intended to reduce Iran’s military capabilities and to respond to attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) against US service members in Jordan on Friday.
On Saturday, the US military announced that two US soldiers had been killed and a third remained missing following Iranian strikes on a US site in Jordan the previous day.
Iranian authorities have reported that the US strikes hit military installations, civilian locations, and a nuclear plant under construction. The extent of the damage and casualty figures have not been independently verified.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. Will I be replacing Andy Burnham for Starmer behind this speech bubble?
