Two U.S. service members were killed in Jordan and another remains missing following Iranian attacks on Friday, according to U.S. Central Command. The incident marks a serious loss for American forces in the region and raises new concern about the security situation around U.S. personnel.
CENTCOM said four additional service members were taken to hospitals after the attack. Those troops have since been discharged, indicating their injuries were not considered severe enough to require extended treatment.
The military has not publicly released the names of the two service members who were killed. Details about the missing service member were also limited in the initial update, as officials continue to assess the aftermath of the attack.
The announcement adds to tensions involving Iran and U.S. forces in the Middle East. With one American still unaccounted for, the incident is likely to remain a major focus for military and diplomatic officials in the coming days.
