US CENTCOM Hits Iranian Infrastructure Targets as Israeli Ambassador Says Jerusalem Ready to Join Fight

Trouble between the U.S. and Iran is escalating with conflicting reports about the Strait of Hormuz, as Israel mourns the loss of Senator Lindsey Graham, one of its closest American friends and allies.

War is escalating again in the Middle East, just three weeks after a ceasefire was supposed to silence the bombs. Iranian forces have now launched attacks on U.S. military targets throughout the Persian Gulf, retaliating for recent American airstrikes inside Iran.  

The U.S. carried out a second round of strikes against 90 Iranian targets on Wednesday. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks against U.S. allies Bahrain and Kuwait and threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump says the ceasefire with Iran as laid out in the Memorandum of Understanding "is over." The United States struck dozens of Iranian targets and revoked the temporary oil sanctions waiver in response to Tehran's attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

As President Trump travels to Turkey for a NATO summit focused on security, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning the president about making deals with the country's leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is stirring up trouble in the Strait of Hormuz.

As Americans celebrated 250 years of independence on the Fourth of July, Iran began the days-long funeral for the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the beginning of the Iran war in February.

Near the ancient road where locals say the Good Samaritan traveled, horses are helping heal the invisible wounds of war. One Israeli rancher is restoring hope to trauma survivors with the help of Christian friends and American cowboys.

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence, the Trump administration is showcasing military strength while pressing for a diplomatic breakthrough with Iran.
