Iranian Army said it attacked US targets at al-Doha camp in Kuwait "a few hours ago", Tasnim News Agency has reported.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington's preference remains constructive engagement, provided that any commitments reached through diplomacy are respected.

Two Lebanese Red Cross paramedics were injured in a landmine explosion during a search mission for a missing person in southern Lebanon, the organisation said.

The Lebanese Red Cross said one of its ambulances was caught in the blast in the town of Eastern Zawtar, which also left the vehicle heavily damaged.

It said the mission had been coordinated in advance with the relevant authorities to ensure safe access to the area.

The US military said it has completed its 11th consecutive day of strikes on Iran.

US Central Command said the strikes targeted Iranian military operations centres, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure.

The strikes, CENTCOM said, aimed to "further degrade" Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that American forces began a new round of strikes against military targets in Iran, marking the 11th consecutive night of operations.

"CENTCOM forces began striking military targets in Iran at 7 p.m. ET today for the 11th consecutive night.

"The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz," the command said in a statement.

The Pentagon said that a US soldier previously reported missing following an "enemy attack" on a military base in Jordan is now believed to have been killed in action.

"Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, is believed to have been killed in action on July 17, 2026, during an enemy attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, Jordan," the Department of Defense said in a statement.

The incident is under investigation, it added.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi discussed regional security and ongoing de-escalation efforts during a phone call.

They discussed the latest regional developments, particularly ongoing diplomatic efforts and joint coordination to de-escalate tensions and enhance regional security and stability.

Sheikh Mohammed stressed the need for all parties to remain committed to dialogue and diplomacy and to implement the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, including ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has acknowledged the limits of airpower after being pressed on the reliance of air strikes alone against Iran.

"As you look across the totality of history, airpower’s got limits, and we always have to be mindful of those," Caine said. "I think where America’s area of exclusivity is, is when we bring the totality of the diplomatic, informational, economic and pair that with the military. And there’s a lot of that work going on."

Caine declined to say whether ground combat could be next after being pressed by Senator Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat who noted the likely costs of having boots on the ground.

The general later said: "Iran will continue to be a challenge moving forward."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday the Iran war has cost the United States $37.5 billion so far, up from a previous estimate of nearly $29 billion in mid-May.

"The estimate we have as of today is $37.5 billion," Hegseth testified during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing at which he defended a request for some $67 billion in supplemental funding for the Pentagon.

Hegseth, General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins are testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee days after the military announced that three more American service members have been killed in the conflict, bringing the death toll to 17, and that more than 100 have been wounded since early July.

Senator Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the panel, is warning that the conflict with Iran "could be another forever war."

President Donald Trump "has told us over 40 times now that a deal is near, and the war will be over soon," Murray will say, according to the senator's prepared remarks. "But now, he is asking for $70 billion more — and for us to just trust him it’ll all work out fine."

Yemen's Houthi group has said that six ships had turned back over the past 24 hours following its newly announced ban on maritime navigation to Saudi Arabia, while the country’s internationally recognized government called for stronger international action against the group.

A Houthi military source, quoted by the group's Saba news agency, said six vessels had reversed course after receiving warnings from Houthi forces following Monday’s announcement of a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia.

The source did not identify the vessels or specify where they had turned back.
