U.S. and Iran trade strikes as Trump signals he may not want a deal

8/11/2026

Fresh military strikes between the United States and Iran escalated with no ceasefire signal from either side.

Central Command, known as Centcom, the American military command that oversees forces across the Middle East, said it launched dozens of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure and small boats.

President Trump then told reporters he was "not sure" he wanted a deal, and said more U.S. military action could come that same night.

What Centcom struck Military infrastructure is the term militaries use for the physical and logistical systems that keep a fighting force running.
