US launches new Iran strikes after two soldiers killed: What’s the latest? US strikes target Iran’s IRGC after two of its soldiers were killed in Jordan, as Tehran attacks Kuwait and Bahrain. The United States has launched new strikes on Iran after two of its soldiers were killed in Iranian strikes in Jordan late on Friday. “The strikes are designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces who launched attacks against American service members in Jordan last night,” CENTCOM said. Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar Atas, reporting from Iranian capital Tehran, said the US attacks are aimed at “isolating” southern Iran from the rest of the country.
