The U.S. military conducted an 11th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iranian targets on Tuesday. The operations occurred as cross-border attacks continued throughout the Middle East, according to military officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate today, stating that the conflict with Iran has cost the United States approximately $37.5 billion to date.
Diplomatic efforts continued in Pakistan, where an Iranian official met with mediators to discuss a potential resolution. These talks occurred following the collapse of a recent interim ceasefire agreement. The U.S. military also reported today that a third service member, previously missing, is now believed to have been killed in an earlier attack in Jordan.
The situation remains fluid as military engagements overshadow diplomatic attempts to restore the ceasefire. While mediators in Pakistan seek to salvage negotiations, the U.S. has continued its nightly strike campaign. No immediate information was provided regarding the specific locations or the extent of damage from the latest round of air attacks.
