The U.S. military has launched airstrikes against Iran for the tenth consecutive day. Following recent attacks by Iran that resulted in U.S. military casualties, President Donald Trump has promised strong retaliation.
On July 20, the U.S. Central Command announced that new airstrikes targeting Iran began at 4 p.m. Eastern Time.
The strikes aim to weaken Iran's military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
This marks the tenth day of U.S. airstrikes against Iran, focusing on Iranian military facilities and missile and drone-related sites near the Strait of Hormuz.
On the same day, President Trump stated on social media platform Truth Social, "For every U.S. soldier Iran kills, they will pay a price many times greater," adding that he has communicated this directive to military leadership.
On July 17, two U.S. service members stationed in Jordan were killed and one went missing while defending against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. An additional U.S. service member was killed on July 18 while handling unexploded ordnance from an Iranian drone shot down in Iraq.
