Overview
- U.S. Central Command said it launched new airstrikes beginning at 6 p.m. ET to punish IRGC units tied to an Iranian missile and drone attack in Jordan that killed two American service members and left a third missing.
- CENTCOM described the strikes as hitting Iranian coastal surveillance sites, air‑defence installations, maritime capabilities and missile and drone storage to reduce Tehran’s ability to threaten commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran announced it has suspended its commitments to the interim memorandum with the U.S. and said its forces carried out retaliatory drone strikes on U.S. bases in Kuwait and other Gulf targets.
- Iranian state outlets and officials report damage to civilian infrastructure in southern Iran, including power and desalination facilities and bridges that have cut water supplies and limited movement for thousands of people.
- U.S. repositioning of KC‑135 and KC‑46 aerial refuellers to Israel and sustained troop deployments are being reported as preparations that could enable an expanded air campaign, increasing the risk of broader regional escalation and supply‑chain effects for global energy markets.
