The United States and Iran exchanged fresh strikes for the eighth straight day after an Iranian attack on a US base in Jordan killed two American soldiers. Another soldier is reported missing. Iran said a nuclear power plant under construction in Darkhoveyn and Qeshm Island were hit in US strikes. Jordan said it intercepted three Iranian missiles, while a fourth landed in a remote area. Kuwait reported another attack on a power and water plant. Both sides accused each other of targeting key infrastructure. Tensions remain high after a preliminary ceasefire collapsed earlier this month. (PC: Reuters,EPA/Shutterstock)
