07/20/2026 July 20, 2026 US launches fresh strikes on Iran The US has launched strikes on Iran for the 10th night in a row. "The strikes are designed to further degrade Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," the US military's Central Command said on social media.
Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency reported that air defenses were activated near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant on the southern coast. The complex has been hit by previous waves of US strikes. Strikes between the US and Iran have escalated in an attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz.
On Friday, Iranian strike on an air base in Jordan killed two US service members and left a third unaccounted for. Another US soldier was reported dead in Iraq on Saturday due to a "controlled detonation" of a downed Iranian drone.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that whenever Iran killed an American soldier, they would "pay for that killing many times over."
