The United States launched a new wave of airstrikes against Iran on July 30, 2026, hitting military command centers and missile facilities, after President Trump vowed retaliation for the deaths of three U.S. service members in Iranian attacks earlier that week, according to NPR and CNBC. The strikes followed an intercepted Iranian missile barrage aimed at U.S. forces, with Jordan's military separately shooting down five Iranian missiles targeting its territory the same day.
The Pentagon said the three American troops were killed in attacks in Jordan and northern Iraq over the preceding weekend. Trump said Tehran would 'pay' for the deaths, and U.S. and Saudi forces also coordinated separate strikes on Iran-backed militias in Iraq in response to attacks on American forces and Saudi oil facilities.
The strikes, carried out well before the Sunday, August 2 deadline in the question, extended a monthslong escalation between the U.S. and Iran that had already included prior rounds of strikes and Iranian retaliation across the region.
The two community voters on this market unanimously predicted the U.S. would resume strikes, matching the outcome exactly.
