US military launches new airstrikes to 'swiftly punish' Iran for deaths of US troops

The U.S. military conducted airstrikes in Iran targeting areas near the Strait of Hormuz to punish Iran for an attack in Jordan that killed two American service members. The strikes aim to degrade Iran's ability to restrict oil tanker traffic through the strait. Iran's supreme leader warned of retaliatory 'unforgettable lessons' if the U.S. continues attacks.
