U.S. death toll rises as Iran war escalates over the weekend

Centcom said it struck Iran coastal surveillance and air defense facilities a day after two U.S. troops were killed in an Iranian attack on Jordan.

U.S. casualties continued to rise as fighting between the United States and Iran escalated over the weekend, according to CNBC World.

The outlet said U.S. Central Command reported striking Iran coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, and it linked the strike to events a day earlier.

CNBC Markets reported that the escalation followed an Iranian strike on Jordan that killed two U.S. troops, with Centcom describing the subsequent targeting as a response.

The latest update, as described by CNBC, came after additional reporting from Centcom on operational actions tied to the weekend escalation.
