US announces another troop death as Israel warns Tehran’s attacks are coming close

The U.S. launched new airstrikes against Iran after another American service member was killed in Iraq on Saturday during a "controlled detonation" of a downed Iranian drone, bringing the total U.S. military deaths to 17 since the conflict began. This follows an Iranian missile attack on a Jordanian airbase on Friday that killed two American service members, left one missing, and hospitalized four. U.S. President Donald Trump stated, "We hit them very hard again tonight."

• The U.S. military's Central Command announced its ninth consecutive night of strikes, targeting "Iranian military command centers, air defense and coastal surveillance sites, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and communications networks."
• Iran's atomic energy agency reported that U.S. strikes targeted a nuclear power plant construction site in the southwest, though the International Atomic Energy Agency noted the site was in "very early stages of construction" and contained no nuclear material during its last visit.
• Iran retaliated by firing missiles towards Jordan, with some potentially spilling over into neighboring Israel, prompting air-raid sirens in Eilat. Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait also activated air defenses against incoming Iranian drones and missiles.
• A ship caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz near Oman, with the Revolutionary Guard claiming to target tankers in the strait, further escalating tensions as an interim deal to end the Iran war has collapsed and shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled.
