The United States military launched a new wave of airstrikes against Tehran Saturday and were reportedly rushing warplanes to the Middle East after Iranian attacks killed two American service members in Jordan.<\/p>\n

The airstrikes began at 6 p.m. ET and were designed to further degrade the Iranian regime\u2019s ability to \u201cthreaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d US Central Command said in a statement.<\/p>\n

CENTCOM also said the attacks on Tehran were intended to swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/p>\n

President Trump, meanwhile, broke his silence late Saturday about the military deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It\u2019s a] very sad, it\u2019s a very sad thing\u2026 we hate to see it happen. It\u2019s in service to our country\u201d Trump told NewsNation Saturday.<\/p>\n

Trump then reportedly told the outlet that Iran could never get a nuclear weapon \u2013 and said he \u201ccouldn\u2019t care less\u201d that Iran announced they had exited the Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Two service members were killed, one is missing, and at least four were injured during an attack on Muwawffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Following that announcement, the Pentagon deployed additional warplanes toward the Gulf region, according to the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

S. F-16s are being sent from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany, and stealth fighter jets, US F-35s are flying to the region from a US Air Base in Britain, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n
