The US military on Saturday evening launched retaliatory strikes against Iran after US service members were killed in action in Jordan.
Two US service members were killed in action at Jordanian bases this week.
One service member is still missing.
“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,” CENTCOM said.
“Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty,” CENTCOM said.
“Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified,” they said.
Later Saturday, the US military unleashed new strikes against Iran.
