US strikes Iran after soldiers killed in Jordan; Tehran quits truce deal

Tensions escalated dramatically as the United States launched new airstrikes against Iran, directly retaliating for the deaths of two American soldiers stationed in Jordan. This marks the first time U.S. service members have died from a direct Iranian attack since the conflict began.

The sacrifices of the heroes will only strengthen our resolve.

The U.S. Central Command announced the strikes, stating they were initiated under President Donald Trump's orders. The military action aimed to further weaken Iran's capacity to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and to swiftly punish the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for the previous night's attack on U.S. personnel.

The attack in Jordan, which occurred while U.S. and allied forces were defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone assaults, resulted in the deaths of two active-duty Army soldiers. One other service member remains missing during operations. The New York Times, citing U.S. officials, reported the strike hit the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Azraq, Jordan, a facility jointly used by Jordanian and U.S.-led coalition forces.

The U.S. violated the agreement first.

In response to the U.S. actions, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister declared that the country would officially withdraw from a truce memorandum signed last month, accusing the U.S. of violating the agreement. The conflict, which began on February 28 following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, has now seen 16 U.S. service members killed and over 430 injured.
