Two Martyred, Several Wounded in US Raids on Checkpoint at Iran-Iraq Border - Fars

In the United States and Iran, on 23 July 2026, the US military carried out strikes on Iran for the 12th consecutive night, and a 13th night of strikes followed. CENTCOM said it completed the latest wave, which Times of India said hit missile, drone and air defence sites. A B-1 bomber was used against Iran for the first time since the war resumed. Iran's state media reported strikes in several regions, and Fars reported two killed and several wounded in US raids on a checkpoint at the Iran-Iraq border; Tasnim said an Iranian serviceman died there.

Iran's IRGC said it targeted US military sites in Kuwait and Jordan, and Iran's army said it launched drone attacks on three US bases in Kuwait. Yemen's Houthis claimed attacks on Red Sea vessels, and Trump said the US would retaliate against Iran for them. Gulf News reported that 12 ships were redirected and one disabled in the US naval blockade of Iran.
