Trump: Latest strikes on Iran 'in honour' of US military personnel killed in Jordan and Iraq

US forces struck Iran for a ninth consecutive day on Monday as the number of confirmed ​American military deaths in the renewed fighting rose to ​three and concerns grew over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. In a statement, U.S. Central Command said it started "a new wave of strikes" aimed at "degrading" Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels in the strait's vital shipping lanes. The Central Command announcement gave no further details. But Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing its own reporters, said U.S. missiles struck several Iranian cities early Monday.
