US fires missiles at Iran again following the deaths of American soldiers in Jordan.

The US on Sunday launched new air strikes against Iran following the death of two American soldiers in an Iranian attack on Jordan. These attacks have occurred for the 8th consecutive night. US Army's Central Command CENTCOM said that these attacks were carried out on the orders of President Donald Trump.

CENTCOM said on Twitter that the strikes, ordered by US President Donald Trump, were designed to further reduce Iran's ability to threaten commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

Today at 6 p.m. ET, U.S. forces began launching new airstrikes against Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction. The strikes are designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard… — U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) July 18, 2026

Two US soldiers were killed in Jordan on Friday while countering Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. 1 soldier is still missing.

According to CENTCOM, four injured soldiers were taken to a Jordanian hospital and were later released. Other soldiers with minor injuries have returned to duty.

Iranian state TV claimed that fuel tanks at the Al-Azraq American base in Jordan were targeted.

According to America, 16 American soldiers have been killed so far since the war started on February 28. Earlier this month, the US accused Iran of targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Since then the attacks between the two countries have intensified.

These attacks come a month after the 14-point ceasefire agreement signed on June 17. This agreement was signed by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian. But on July 8, Trump declared it over. Iran also suspended the MOU, accusing America of breaking promises.

Iran warned

Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned America by posting on X. He said that the signature of the US President is worthless. America will learn a lesson it will never forget.

Iran's senior commander Major General Mohsen Rezaei also said that if the US attacks continue, Iran will resume full-scale offensive operations. He said that now Iran will not be limited to just retaliating.
