00:00The U.S. said it had completed an eighth straight night of attacks against Iran on Sunday, after
00:06earlier announcing that two U.S. military personnel were killed in Jordan.
00:11Sirens echoed in Jordan's capital, Amman, on Sunday.
00:15The country's armed forces said they shot down three Iranian missiles targeting the
00:18kingdom, while a fourth fell in a remote area, the state news agency reported.
00:23The U.S. and Iran have intensified attacks, as the interim ceasefire deal signed a month
00:29ago, has unraveled.
00:30Struggle for control of the Strait of Hormuz has deepened, raising the risk of a return
00:35to all-out hostilities.
00:39In a written statement carried by Iranian state media late on Saturday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah
00:44Moshtaba Khamenei said U.S. actions had shown that U.S. President Donald Trump's signature
00:49was, quote, utterly worthless and devoid of credibility.
00:53U.S. Central Command said the latest airstrikes began Saturday at 6 p.m. Eastern time and were
00:58designed to, quote, further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in
01:02the Strait of Hormuz, and swiftly punish IRGC forces who launched attacks against American
01:07service members in Jordan.
01:09Israeli officials said Sunday the country was preparing to receive more U.S. refueling aircraft
01:14after the recent escalation.
01:16While the International Atomic Energy Agency said it was investigating reports of an overnight
01:21U.S. attack on the site of a nuclear power plant in Dar Khovine, near Iran's border
01:26with Iraq.
01:27In response to the latest strikes, Iran carried out a drone attack that targeted U.S. military
01:32assets and equipment at Kuwait's al-Adiri camp and Ali al-Salem Air Base, Iranian state
01:38TV reported early on Sunday.
01:41Both bases have been targeted as part of Iran's attacks against U.S. assets and allies in the
01:46Gulf since last week.
01:48Video released by Kuwait News Agency on Sunday shows Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah
01:54al-Hammad al-Saba visiting injured people in hospital following the Iranian attacks.
01:59U.S. Central Command said the deaths of the two service personnel had occurred Friday and
02:04that a third U.S. service member was missing in action.
02:07The number of U.S. service members killed since the war began at the end of February is now 16,
02:11while more than 420 have been wounded. Iran's health ministry said on Saturday that 50 people
02:17had been killed and more than 500 wounded in U.S. strikes on the country over the past three weeks
02:22alone. Overall, thousands have been killed and several million internally displaced in the conflict,
02:28mainly in Iran and in Lebanon, where a war between Israel and Iran-backed militant
02:33group Hezbollah was reignited.
