U.S. Central Command Confirms Fatalities and One MIA
Two American soldiers were killed when Iranian missiles struck a U.S. military base in Jordan, according to confirmation from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
One additional U.S. service member is currently missing in action (MIA). Four others were urgently evacuated to Jordanian hospitals, while additional personnel sustained minor injuries and have returned to duty.
This marks the first confirmed U.S. military fatalities from direct Iranian strikes since the resumption of the conflict.
The attack occurred amid a sharp escalation in hostilities, with ongoing U.S. operations against Iranian targets and retaliatory Iranian actions. Further details on the incident and the status of the missing service member are expected in the coming hours.
