US Launches Airstrikes on Iran After Fatal Attack on American Troops in Jordan

The US military has launched new airstrikes against Iran, stating the action is to 'swiftly punish' the country's Revolutionary Guard. This follows an attack in Jordan that killed two American service members, left one missing, and hospitalised four others. Iran's supreme leader had previously warned Washington would pay for 'seeking to escalate' the conflict. US President Donald Trump described the troop deaths as a 'shame', while US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated, 'Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve.' Iran appeared to target Saudi Arabia and other US Gulf allies on Saturday, following US attacks on Iranian infrastructure. Mojtaba Khamenei warned that US actions showed Trump's signature was 'utterly worthless.' Source: Guardian World
