US service member killed, another wounded, CENTCOM says
17 U.S. service members have been killed since the war in Iran began.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.
The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange relatively limited strikes despite the signing of the memorandum and amid the continuation of peace talks, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.

Passage through the Strait of Hormuz 'currently unfeasible': Persian Gulf Strait Authority
The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA), a government body created by Iran during the ceasefire to manage crossings in the Strait of Hormuz, said in a statement on Monday that passage through the Strait is currently unfeasible.
They had been urging ships to visit their website to get a permit for passage.
"Due to recent hostile actions by the U.S. forces, passage through the Strait of Hormuz is currently unfeasible," the statement said. "As soon as stability and calm are restored, all applications will be reviewed in accordance with the scheduled timeline, and the permitting process will resume."
