Trump: Strikes carried out 'in honour' of American soldiers killedClose

US President Donald Trump said the latest strikes by the US hit Iran "very hard", adding that the attacks were "in honour" of three US soldiers killed in recent days - two in Jordan, one in Iraq. US Central Command (Centcom) said it had launched a "new wave" of strikes for the ninth consecutive night as explosions were heard across Iran. Iran said it had responded with a "surprise attack" in Syria and targeted US aircraft at Jordan's Aqaba airport.
