Two U.S. service members were killed in Jordan on Friday in an attack identified in reports as Iranian. U.S. Central Command said Saturday that another service member is missing and four more were injured.
CENTCOM released the update in a post on X, confirming the deaths, the missing status of one service member, and additional injuries. The available report did not include further details about the circumstances of the attack.
The incident marks a significant escalation in the risks facing U.S. personnel in the region. Any attack causing American military deaths in Jordan is likely to draw close attention from U.S. defense officials and policymakers.
Based on the limited information released so far, no additional details were immediately available about the missing service member or the condition of those hurt. Further updates are expected as military officials continue to assess the situation.
