CENTCOM: US Service Member Killed in Northern Iraq and Troops' Remains Located in Jordan; Ninth Night of US Strikes on Iran Completed

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said a US service member was killed in northern Iraq by a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian drone. CENTCOM also said the remains of soldiers were located in Jordan, where a separate Iranian attack left two US soldiers dead and one missing.

CENTCOM said the US military has completed its ninth consecutive night of strikes on Iran, targeting command centres, air defence systems, missile facilities and communications networks. Explosions were heard across several parts of Iran early Monday (July 20), Donald Trump said Iran had been hit "very hard," and a fresh wave of US strikes was reported. The continuing confrontation is the main driver of the surge in oil prices and of risk across the region's markets.
