admin The United State (US) has said it had completed an eighth straight night of attacks against Iran after earlier announcing that two (US) military personnel were killed in Jordan, while U.S. allies in the region reported more Iranian attacks yesterday.
The US and Iran have intensified attacks as an interim ceasefire deal signed a month ago has unraveled and a struggle for control of the Strait of Hormuz has deepened, raising the risk of a return to all-out hostilities.
Israeli officials said Israel was preparing to receive more US refueling aircraft after the recent escalation, and ahead of a possible expansion of US military operations against Iran.
U.S. Central Command said the latest airstrikes, which began on Saturday, were designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American servicemembers in Jordan.
