U.S. military death toll rises amid renewed conflict with Iran - CBC
An American service member was killed Saturday in Iraq during "controlled detonation" of a downed Iranian drone, the U.S. military said Sunday, just a day after announcing the deaths of two other U.S. service members following an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan.
Sunday's announcement brings the death toll of U.S. service members to 17 during the conflict with Iran. More than 430 American troops have been wounded.
Step by step, the U.S. and Iran have returned closer to all-out war as last month's interim deal meant to permanently end the fighting has crumbled and shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled. Both sides have targeted civilian infrastructure relied on by millions of people.
This is a breaking update. A previous version of this story can be read below.
The U.S. said it had completed an eighth straight night of attacks on Iran after earlier announcing that two U.S. military personnel were killed in Jordan, while U.S. allies in the region reported more Iranian attacks on Sunday.
The U.S. and Iran have intensified attacks as an interim ceasefire deal signed a month ago has unravelled and a struggle for control of the Strait of Hormuz has deepened, raising the risk of a return to all-out hostilities.
Israeli officials said the country was preparing to receive more U.S. refuelling aircraft after the recent escalation and ahead of a possible expansion of American military operations against Iran.
U.S. Central Command said the latest airstrikes, which began at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday, were designed "to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan."
Central Command later said it had completed its wave of attacks, hitting Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defence facilities.
The conflict, which began when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, hoping to disable its nuclear and missile programs and degrade its regional proxies, has led to major disruption to energy supplies and fears over global inflation.
Iran supreme leader threatens to teach U.S. 'unforgettable lessons' if attacks continue
Iranian reports said the U.S. carried out an attack near Sirik in southern Iran and near Shadegan, close to the border with Iraq.
Iran's Atomic Energy Organization condemned a U.S. attack on the site of a nuclear power plant under construction in Darkhovin, Iran's Mehr news agency reported. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was investigating reports of an overnight attack, noting that the plant was in the early stages of construction.
In response to the latest strikes, Iran carried out a drone attack that targeted U.S. military assets and equipment at Kuwait's Al-Adiri camp and Ali Al Salem Air Base, Iranian state TV reported early Sunday. Both bases have been targeted as part of Iran's attacks against U.S. assets and allies in the Gulf since last week.
2 U.S. service members killed, 1 missing after Iranian strikes in Jordan
Kuwait's Electricity Ministry said a desalination plant had been attacked for the second day running, causing a fire. Kuwait's armed forces said earlier they had again intercepted Iranian missiles, after a sustained Iranian attack on Saturday.
Bahrain's air defences also intercepted an Iranian attack on Sunday, its state TV reported. Sirens sounded in Jordan, where the military said it had shot down three Iranian missiles. The Israeli military said it had detected the launch of missiles from Iran toward the Jordanian city of Aqaba, on Israel's border.
In recent days, both sides have taken aim at shipping traffic. The U.S. said it's enforcing a naval blockade on Iran, and Tehran said it's targeting vessels violating its rules on navigating the Strait of Hormuz, which usually handles one-fifth of global oil supply.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Sunday that four vessels had attempted to transit the strait via an "unsafe route" with U.S. backing after ignoring IRGC warnings. It said two had abandoned the attempt while the other two were involved in an "accident." It did not elaborate.
Central Command said two of its service personnel were killed Friday and a third U.S. service member was missing in action. The announcement brought the number of U.S. service members killed since the war began to 16, with over 420 have been wounded.
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted on social media platform X: "Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve."
Iran’s supreme leader vows revenge against Trump in fiery message
Trump has threatened to target Iran's power stations and bridges to try to compel Tehran to loosen its hold on the Strait of Hormuz. Recent attacks suggest the U.S. military is carrying out that plan, beginning first with coastal areas of Iran on the strait.
Iran's Health Ministry said on Saturday that 50 people had been killed and more than 500 wounded in U.S. strikes on thecountry over the past three weeks alone.
Overall, thousands have been killed and several million internally displaced in the conflict, mainly in Iran and in Lebanon, where a war between Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah was reignited.
