The US military confirmed Saturday that two American soldiers were killed and one is missing after an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan. The assault, which occurred Friday, involved ballistic missiles and drones, according to a military statement. Four other service members were injured and evacuated to Jordanian hospitals but have since been discharged. No names have been released pending notification of families. This marks the first time US troops have been killed by direct Iranian fire since the start of the war in Gaza. The attack took place as US and partner forces were defending the base. Officials are investigating the incident. The missing soldier is believed to be in the area, and search efforts are underway. The US has maintained a military presence in Jordan as part of regional security operations. The attack heightens tensions between the US and Iran, which has been involved in the conflict through proxy groups. The Biden administration has not yet announced a response. Military officials stated that they remain committed to protecting US personnel and partners in the region.
