The United States carried out a 10th consecutive night of strikes inside Iran, according to U.S. Central Command video reported by NBC’s Keir Simmons for TODAY.
Central Command released footage of the operation, which NBC reported showed U.S. forces flying deep into Iran. The targets included command centers, launch sites and air defenses, according to the report.
The strikes came after the killing of U.S. service members in the Middle East, NBC reported. A related TODAY report identified three U.S. service members as having been killed before the U.S. fired at Iran.
President Donald Trump said Iran “will pay” whenever it kills an American service member, according to the TODAY report.
Travel warning issued
The State Department also issued a rare worldwide travel warning for Americans overseas, NBC reported.
The warning followed another barrage of Iranian missiles into Jordan, according to the TODAY report. No further details about the alert, the missile barrage or possible casualties in Jordan were included in the report.
The latest U.S. strikes mark another escalation in the military confrontation between Washington and Tehran, as described in TODAY’s coverage. Central Command’s released video placed the campaign at 10 straight nights of U.S. action.
NBC’s report did not include comment from Iranian officials on the U.S. strikes or the missile fire into Jordan.
