Two US service members were killed and one is missing in action, the military announced Saturday, marking the first American military deaths in the Iran war since March, APA reports citing CNN.
“On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing in action,” US Central Command said in a social media post.
Four additional American service members were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but have since been discharged, according to CENTCOM. Other personnel sustained minor injuries and have returned to duty.
CENTCOM said it will withhold the identities of the fallen soldiers until 24 hours after their next of kin are notified.
