Trump Warns Iran After US Troop Deaths in Jordan as 10th Night of Strikes Begin

On July 20, 2026, the United States conducted its tenth consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, aiming to secure the Strait of Hormuz following recent Iranian attacks. These strikes targeted Iranian military and energy infrastructure. In response, Iran launched missile barrages at US allies Kuwait, Jordan, and Bahrain, resulting in the deaths of US troops stationed in Jordan. The attacks marked a significant escalation in the conflict, with the interim ceasefire agreement collapsing. Trump, speaking directly to the public, warned Iran that 'They will pay many times over' for the deaths of American forces.
