The U.S. military has launched new airstrikes against Iran to “swiftly punish” the Revolutionary Guard for killing at least two American service members.
“Today at 6 p.m. ET, U.S. forces began launching new airstrikes against Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” U.S. Central Command posted on X on Saturday evening. “The strikes are 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 last night.”
One service member is still missing, and four others were treated for injuries and released from a Jordanian hospital.
Earlier Saturday, CENTCOM announced the IRGC’s attack on the Jordanian base from a day earlier.
President Donald Trump has not yet given an official statement on the troops killed in action.
He spoke by phone to NewsNation correspondent Hannah Brandt on Saturday evening, one day after the attack.
“We hadn’t heard from the president yet about these deaths, so we decided to call him to see if he had a reaction, and that was the first thing I asked him, what his reaction was to the news of these two U.S. service members that were killed in Iranian attacks yesterday,” Brandt said at the start of her TV report.
“The president telling me he finds it ‘very sad.’ He says, ‘it’s a very sad thing. We hate to see it happen,’ but then the president told me, ‘It’s in service to our country…we’re never, they’re never going to allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon,’” Brandt continued.
She added, “And that’s a line we’ve heard from the president before. We know that is his driving force that he has repeatedly said when it comes to this war in Iran. And I quickly asked him what he thought of Iran also saying this weekend that it no longer plans to follow that Memorandum of Understanding. The president telling me, ‘I couldn’t care less.’”
