U.S. Central Command said it carried out its eighth consecutive wave of airstrikes against Iran's Revolutionary Guard on Saturday night, targeting the group in response to Tehran's killing of two U.S. service members at a base in Jordan and the disappearance of a third. The strikes marked the first direct Iranian fire that has resulted in U.S. deaths since the conflict began. Kuwait accused Iran of striking civilian infrastructure, including an oil facility and power and water plants, after reporting attacks on those sites. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned that continued U.S. attacks would bring "unforgettable lessons" and said the U.S. president's signature was "worthless and invalid." The situation remains unresolved as both sides exchange statements.
