On Day 143 of the US-Israel Wars, Iran killed two US soldiers and left one missing in an attack on Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti airbase on Friday, bringing the total American fatalities to 16 in the conflict. This incident followed several Iranian attacks on US positions in Jordan throughout the week, which the Pentagon reportedly concealed, resulting in dozens of casualties before Friday's fatal strike. US Central Command confirmed the killings and retaliated with an eighth consecutive night of strikes against Iranian military targets, including coastal surveillance, air defense, and missile storage sites.

- A senior Iranian official stated that President Masoud Pezeshkian believes Iran is engaged in a "full-scale war," despite mediators passing a proposal for a 10-day ceasefire.
- A US official indicated that the Trump administration is planning for a wider war with more warplanes, but expressed concerns about insufficient stockpiles of air defense and long-range missiles.
- Iran's Atomic Energy Organization reported a US attack on the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant in southwest Iran.
