Overview
- U.S. Central Command reported it carried out strikes on Iranian targets for a seventh consecutive night, saying forces hit surveillance sites, logistics nodes, underground weapons storage and maritime capabilities.
- Iran’s military said it targeted U.S. installations in Kuwait and Jordan, and a recent Iranian missile and drone strike in Jordan killed two U.S. service members, left another missing and wounded additional personnel.
- The State Department issued a global "Worldwide Caution" warning that groups sympathetic to Iran may target U.S. citizens, American-linked locations and diplomatic facilities and that flight cancellations and airspace closures could disrupt travel.
- The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem advised Americans to avoid travel to northern Israel, Gaza and areas near the Egyptian border and urged people in the region to monitor developments and check with airlines.
- Reports that Iran’s hardliners accuse visible negotiators of a "soft coup" underline internal political strain in Tehran that could affect how Iran responds and raise the risk of wider regional spillover, including disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
