The U.S. Launched a new wave of strikes against Iran for an eighth straight day,
targeting what it says were strategic drone and missile sites.
The new attacks come after two U.S.
Service members were killed in Jordan on Friday from Iranian strikes.
They're the first casualty since the U.S.
And Iran signed a preliminary ceasefire in April, which both sides now say is void.
NPR's Carrie Kahn reports from Tel Aviv.
U.S. Central Command says along with the military sites, it also struck forces
with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to, quote, swiftly punish Iran for the attacks in Jordan.
The brief statement by CENTCOM did not provide more details.
Early Sunday, Kuwait's military said it was intercepting incoming missiles and drones from Iran.
Bahrain, too, has reported an incoming fire from Iran.
The stepped-up back-and-forth strikes show no sign of letting up, no public peace talks or negotiations.
The United States has reinstated a blockade on Iranian ports as Iran continues to vow to control the Strait of Hormuz.
Shipping traffic through the vital waterway has dropped dramatically during the last week of strikes.
