Tensions between the United States and Iran continued to escalate over the weekend. After Iran attacked a Jordanian military base, killing two U.S. soldiers, the U.S. military launched another attack on Iran in the early morning of July 19, Iranian time. This is the eighth consecutive night that the US military has attacked Iran since ceasefire negotiations broke down. According to reports from CCTV News and other media, on July 18, local time, the U.S. Central Command stated that at 6 p.m. Eastern Time that day, the U.S. military began a new round of air strikes against Iran on the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The US military said the operation was aimed at further weakening Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and quickly punishing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - the organization launched an attack on US military personnel in Jordan the night before. At the same time, according to Iranian news on the 19th local time, Haji Abad in Hormozgan Province, Iran, was attacked by the US military. In the early morning of the 19th local time, local residents in Sirik, southern Iran, reported hearing an explosion. Hormozgan provincial government officials said that at 1:30 that day, a US missile hit a location near Sirik. According to news from the U.S. Central Command earlier on the 18th, the night before, Iran attacked a military base in Jordan, killing two U.S. soldiers and leaving another missing. The attack also injured several people, four of them seriously. Iran strikes back hard and warns Shortly before the United States announced the death of a US soldier, Iran's Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei warned that if the United States continued to attack Iran, it would learn "unforgettable lessons." He also said that the United States' continued attacks have proven that US President Trump's signature on the memorandum of understanding is "worthless and has no credibility." Previously, according to Iranian news on the 18th local time, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Garibabadi said that Iran has stopped fulfilling the Iran-US memorandum of understanding after the United States violated its commitments. In response to the continued attacks by the US military, Iran has continued to attack US military bases in many countries in the Middle East, including US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. According to U.S. news on the 18th, multiple U.S. officials stated that Iran launched four attacks on U.S. military bases in Jordan in the past five days, resulting in the death of two U.S. troops, dozens of injuries, and damage to multiple helicopters. Mohsin Rezai, the military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, issued a stern warning on the 17th that if the United States continues to launch attacks on Iran, the Iranian armed forces will turn to a full-scale offensive. Expanding attacks threaten civilians and infrastructure, and the global economy is once again on high alert. In the past few days, news has emerged that desalination plants, oil facilities, bridges, power plants and other civil facilities in many countries, including Iran and Kuwait, have been affected. US issues global security alert As the security situation in the Middle East deteriorates, the U.S. State Department issued a global security alert on Saturday, reminding American citizens to pay attention to overseas security risks and warning that the situation may still escalate further. The U.S. State Department said in a statement that as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise, the current global security environment remains complex and there are risks of unpredictable escalation. The U.S. State Department advises U.S. citizens around the world, especially those in the Middle East, to increase security vigilance. In addition, the U.S. State Department also reminded that due to the regional situation, some flights may be canceled and the airspace of relevant countries may be closed from time to time. Passengers should reserve travel flexibility to cope with possible traffic disruptions. Hormuz has essentially shut down again The battle focuses on control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran requires ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz through its territorial waters rather than the U.S. military-protected Omani coast route. At present, the Strait of Hormuz has basically been closed again, with only a handful of ships passing through after turning off their transponders.
Dimitris Maniatis, CEO of maritime risk services company Marisks, said at a Lloyds List Intelligence briefing recently that shipping companies are facing "the worst-case scenario" in the Strait of Hormuz, and "crews are more concerned than ever before." U.S. President Trump responded to the news that two U.S. service members were killed in an Iranian attack on Saturday night local time, saying that this was "a very sad thing." "We hate to see this happen. But it's for our country," Trump told reporters. He also said the United States would "never" allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. Trump said he "didn't care" about Iran's announcement to suspend its commitments related to the interim agreement. Trump also previously warned that the United States would strike at Iran's bridges and power facilities in the coming week if Iran refused to return to the negotiating table.
