Trump: Latest strikes on Iran ‘in honour’ of killed US military personnel

Le président américain Donald Trump a déclaré que les dernières frappes contre l'Iran ont été menées « en l'honneur » du personnel militaire américain décédé. L'article ne précise pas quand ces frappes ont eu lieu ni où elles ont été dirigées en Iran. La raison invoquée par le président Trump pour ces actions est de rendre hommage aux militaires américains tués. L'article se concentre sur la déclaration de Trump concernant la motivation derrière ces frappes.

The United States has launched new strikes on Iran for the eighth consecutive night following an Iranian attack that killed two American soldiers in Jordan. U.S. President Donald Trump described the soldiers' deaths as "a very sad thing" and reiterated that the U.S. will not permit Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. The article states these events occurred on July 19, 2026. The U.S. actions are a direct response to the Iranian attack that resulted in the fatalities of the American service members.

The United States military confirmed that two service members were killed and four were medically evacuated following an Iranian missile and drone attack in Jordan on Friday. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that one service member remains missing in action. This incident marks the first US confirmation of casualties from renewed Iranian strikes on US forces, occurring after the breakdown of a memorandum of understanding that had temporarily paused fighting. The escalating attacks between US and Iranian forces have raised concerns about a potential return to full-scale war in the region, with the US having previously struck Iranian civilian infrastructure.

Two U.S. service members were killed and one is missing following an attack on a base in Jordan on Friday. The U.S. military announced these casualties on Saturday, marking the first American troop deaths from direct Iranian fire since the war's early days. The attack involved Iranian ballistic missile and drone strikes, which U.S. and partner forces defended against. Four other service members who were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals have since been discharged. The identities of the deceased have not yet been released.
