U.S. announces another troop death as Israel warns Tehran's attacks are coming close

Key Points:

• The U.S. announced the death of a service member in Iraq during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone, amid intensified airstrikes targeting Iran's Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for recent attacks on U.S. troops.
• Iran fired missiles toward Jordan, risking escalation into neighboring Israel, which responded by activating air defenses and warning of possible spillover from the conflict.
• U.S. strikes have targeted Iranian military infrastructure including coastal surveillance, air defense, and missile storage sites, as well as civilian infrastructure like bridges and water desalination plants critical to millions.
• Iran reported that a U.S. strike hit the construction site of a planned nuclear power plant, though the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed the site contained no nuclear material and was in early construction stages.
• The conflict has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil transit route, with the U.S. imposing a naval blockade on Iranian ports, while Gulf Arab states and Jordan have faced repeated Iranian missile and drone attacks.
