The United States has continued its military campaign against Iran, carrying out a fresh wave of airstrikes on the eighth straight night. The bombings are a direct response to the deaths of two US soldiers in Jordan, who were killed by Iranian strikes. The sustained aerial assault marks a significant escalation in hostilities between Washington and Tehran. The nightly bombings have been ongoing since the incident in Jordan, with the US maintaining a high tempo of operations. Specific targets of the latest strikes have not been disclosed, and no reports of casualties or damage have emerged. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, fearing a broader conflict. The US has not signaled any intention to halt the bombings, indicating a prolonged military response. Each night since the Jordan attack, US forces have launched new strikes, keeping up the pressure on Iran. The Pentagon has not provided a timeline for the campaign, leaving the region in a state of heightened tension.
