US widens strike campaign on Iran after Jordan fatalities

The US conducted another night of strikes on Iran after two American troops were killed in Jordan, saying the actions were meant to punish the IRGC and deter threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz; the raids hit coastal surveillance, air defences, maritime capabilities and missile/drone storage, and reportedly struck the under‑construction Darkhovin nuclear plant; Iran retaliated with attacks on Gulf states, including a Saudi base, while one US service member is unaccounted for and four were treated in Jordan, as the widening clash risks a broader war and jeopardizes Hormuz’s reopening.
