Two U.S. soldiers were killed and one was reported missing following an Iranian missile attack in Jordan, according to reports from local authorities. The incident occurred during a period of heightened regional tensions, marked by a series of retaliatory strikes between the United States and Iran. The attack took place near the border area of Aqaba, which is part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The conflict escalated over several days, with both sides launching coordinated strikes. On July 18, 2026, the U.S. conducted its seventh consecutive night of airstrikes targeting Iranian military positions. These strikes included attacks on ports, islands, and other strategic locations, including the UAE-controlled island of Greater Tunb, which Iran claims as part of its territory. In response, Iran launched multiple attacks across the region, hitting U.S. bases and civilian infrastructure in Jordan and Kuwait. In Jordan, Iranian forces reportedly fired missiles toward the Aqaba area, prompting local authorities to confirm that some projectiles were intercepted. One U.S. soldier was confirmed dead, while another was listed as missing. The Jordanian government stated that the attack did not result in casualties among civilians. Meanwhile, in Kuwait, Iranian strikes led to injuries among firefighters who were responding to fires caused by the explosions. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for striking a U.S. airbase in Jordan, although this assertion has yet to be independently verified. The U.S. military has denied such claims, stating that it does not operate a base in Jordan. However, the U.S. issued a travel advisory for the Middle East, urging citizens to avoid non-essential travel due to the increased risk of attacks. This advisory followed a pattern of similar warnings issued in previous weeks. Regional leaders have expressed concern over the escalating violence. Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun traveled to Washington for discussions with U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump, to address the growing instability. During these meetings, Trump reiterated his stance that the U.S. would continue its campaign against Iran, threatening to target Iranian power plants if necessary. He also warned that the U.S. could gain control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime chokepoint through which much of the world’s oil passes. Meanwhile, international responses varied. China and Pakistan called for a ceasefire, emphasizing the need for diplomatic solutions to de-escalate the situation. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) expressed concerns over the safety of commercial vessels passing through the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian attacks on tankers had previously raised alarms. Some ships reportedly reversed their routes to avoid potential confrontations with Iranian forces. As the conflict continued, the U.S. carried out its 11th consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military targets, indicating a sustained effort to disrupt Iran’s capabilities. Reports suggest that the U.S. has been using one-way attack drones to conduct precision strikes, reducing the risk to American personnel. These operations have contributed to rising oil prices, as markets reacted to the increased volatility in the region. Amid the ongoing hostilities, Iran’s foreign minister made controversial remarks, claiming he had survived an airstrike that allegedly targeted Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Such statements have further complicated diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis. As the situation remains volatile, the international community watches closely for signs of either de-escalation or further escalation.

The NationalStrankarsko povezanKonservativnopred 14 urami Trump: ZDA bodo bombardirale iranski most ali elektrarno za vsako ladjo v HormuzuV juliju 2026 je ameriški predsednik Donald Trump napovedal, da bodo ZDA povračile z bombardiranjem iranskega mostu ali elektrarne za vsako ladjo, ki je bila tarča v Hormuškem prelivu, kar je povečalo napetost med ZDA in Iranom. Medtem je iranski zunanji minister trdil, da je preživel zračni napad, ki je bil namenjen ubijanju vrhovnega voditelja ajatolahja Khameneija.
