US Strikes Iran's Revolutionary Guard in Retaliation for Troops Killed in Jordan

By TrendingWire Newsroom

The United States launched a new wave of airstrikes against Iran's Revolutionary Guard overnight, marking the eighth such attack in a week. Washington said the strikes were retaliation for the killing of two American troops at a base in Jordan. A third US soldier remains missing. The attacks are part of an escalating campaign that has seen both sides strike targets across the Middle East. The US military targeted bridges and other infrastructure linked to the Guard. The strikes come as efforts to reach a temporary ceasefire have failed, widening the conflict between the two nations. The US has not provided further details on the missing soldier. The situation remains tense as the campaign continues.
