Summary

  • Nearly 100 U.S. troops have been injured since early July after a 60-day U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension broke down and fighting resumed.
  • Missile, drone and rocket exchanges have followed the collapse, marking a new phase in the war after strikes intensified over the past week and weekend.
  • Three U.S. servicemembers were honored at Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday; two were killed in an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan and one at Iraq’s Erbil Air Base.
  • Donald Trump, speaking later at a Georgia rally, vowed he would not let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon as the conflict continued to deepen alongside his stalled domestic agenda.
