The US military says two American service members were killed in Jordan in what it described as an Iranian missile and drone attack. It also said four others were medically evacuated after the strike.
The reported deaths mark a serious escalation in an already volatile period for the region. Washington and Tehran have both increased attacks over the past week, raising concerns that the conflict could spread into a broader confrontation.
The incident in Jordan is likely to intensify pressure on US officials as they weigh their next steps. Any deadly attack on American forces is closely watched in Washington, especially when tensions with Iran are already running high.
The latest developments have added to wider fears of a return to full-scale war across the Middle East. With both sides stepping up military action, the risk of further escalation remains a central concern.
