WASHINGTON/CAIRO, July 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Saturday two of its personnel were killed in Jordan and another was missing after an Iranian attack, while Iran's supreme leader said Washington would pay for "seeking to escalate the conflict" after a seventh straight night of U.S. strikes.

华盛顿/开罗，7月18日（路透社）- 美军周六表示，在伊朗的一次袭击中，有两名美军人员在约旦遇难，另一人失踪。与此同时，伊朗最高领袖表示，在美军连续第七夜发动空袭后，华盛顿将为“试图升级冲突”付出代价。

The U.S. and Iran have intensified attacks since an interim ceasefire deal signed a month ago fell apart last week, raising the possibility of a return to all-out war.

自一个月前签署的临时停火协议上周破裂以来，美国和伊朗的攻击强度不断升级，引发人们对全面战争重现的担忧。

U.S. Central Command said the two deaths occurred on Friday and that a third U.S. service member was missing in action. The announcement brought the number of U.S. service members killed since the war began to 16, while more than 420 have been wounded.

美军中央司令部表示，两起死亡事件发生在周五，第三名美军人员仍在失联状态。这一宣布将使自战争开始以来美军阵亡人数增至16人，另有420多人受伤。

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X: "Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve."

美国国防部长皮特·海格塞斯在X平台发文：“愿英雄们一路平安。他们的牺牲只会让我们决心更加坚定。”

Iran appeared to target Saudi Arabia as well as other U.S. Gulf allies and Jordan on Saturday after U.S. attacks on Iranian bridges, power facilities and other infrastructure.

在美军袭击伊朗的桥梁、电力设施和其他基础设施后，伊朗周六似乎对沙特阿拉伯以及其他美国海湾盟国和约旦发动了攻击。

In a written statement carried by the official social media accounts of Iran's supreme leader and Iranian state media, Mojtaba Khamenei said repeated U.S. breaches of the interim deal had shown that President Donald Trump's signature was "utterly worthless and devoid of credibility."

在伊朗最高领袖和伊朗官方媒体发布的书面声明中，莫杰塔巴·哈梅内伊表示，美国反复破坏临时协议，证明唐纳德·特朗普总统的签名“毫无价值且毫无信誉”。

"Now that the American enemy is seeking to escalate the conflict thereby incurring even heavier costs and further humiliation, it should know that the noble nation of Iran and the Resistance Front have unforgettable lessons in store for it," the statement said. Khamenei's whereabouts remain a mystery.

“如今，美国敌人试图升级冲突，从而招致更沉重的代价和更大的羞辱，它应该知道，伊朗崇高民族和抵抗阵线将为它准备难忘的教训，”声明写道。哈梅内伊的行踪依然成谜。

The conflict, which began when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran at the end of February hoping to disable its missile programme and its regional proxies, has led to major disruption to energy supplies, fears over global inflation and a battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz.

这场冲突始于美国和以色列在二月底对伊朗发动打击，希望削弱其导弹计划和地区代理人势力。冲突已导致能源供应严重中断，引发人们对全球通胀的担忧，并围绕霍尔木兹海峡的控制权展开争夺。

As well as hitting Kuwait, the IRGC targeted a site in Bahrain where U.S. combat aircraft were gathered at Sheikh Isa Air Base and an intelligence data centre, Iranian media said.

Saudi Arabia's early warning system issued alerts early on Saturday urging residents of Al-Kharj and Yanbu to seek shelter. Al-Kharj, east of Riyadh, is home to a military base that hosts U.S. troops, while Yanbu, on the Red Sea, has a key oil export terminal.

沙特阿拉伯的早期预警系统在周六清晨发出警报，敦促阿尔哈里斯和延布居民寻求庇护。位于利雅得东部的阿尔哈里斯是一个驻扎有美军部队的军事基地所在地，而位于红海的延布则拥有关键的石油出口终端。

Two people briefed on the matter said an Iranian missile attack, the first on Saudi Arabia in more than three months, had triggered the alerts. Saudi state media did not say what had prompted the alerts and the government media office did not respond to a request for comment.

两名知情人士称，伊朗对沙特阿拉伯发动的导弹袭击触发了此次警报，这是三个月以来伊朗首次打击沙特。沙特国家媒体未说明警报起因，政府媒体办公室也未回应置评请求。

伊朗外交部发言人伊斯梅尔·巴盖伊指责美国企图控制霍尔木兹海峡，该海峡通常承载全球约五分之一的石油供应。

Both sides have taken aim at shipping traffic, with the U.S. saying it is enforcing a naval blockade and Iran saying it targets vessels violating its rules on navigating the strait.

双方都将矛头指向航运交通，美国称其正在执行海军封锁，而伊朗称其针对的是违反其在海峡航行规则船只。

The European Union and Gulf states called on Iran to immediately and unconditionally halt all attacks and interference with maritime navigation and to keep the strait open without conditions or fees, according to a joint statement reported by Saudi state TV on Saturday.

This. Trillions even. In fact a Democrat would probably just give them nukes. Actually I think the Dems would just surrender our great country to Iran. Our suicidal loyalty to Israel is a good thing

没错。甚至是数万亿美元。事实上，民主党人可能干脆直接给他们核武器。说真的，我觉得民主党人干脆就会把我们伟大的国家投降给伊朗。我们对以色列那种自杀式的忠诚还是件好事
