Two US service members were killed and several others were injured in Jordan on Friday during what the Pentagon described as an Iranian missile and drone attack. The incident marks a deadly escalation involving American forces in the region.
According to the US account, the attack targeted troops in Jordan and resulted in both fatalities and injuries. The Pentagon said the two Americans who died were service members, while additional personnel were hurt in the strike.
The report adds to rising tensions surrounding Iran and US military operations in the Middle East. With Washington publicly attributing the attack to Iran, the episode is likely to draw renewed scrutiny over the security of US forces stationed in neighboring countries.
Further details about the victims, the extent of the injuries, and any immediate response were not included in the initial statement. Officials are expected to provide more information as the situation becomes clearer.
