On Friday, Iranian ballistic missile and drone strikes on Jordan killed two US service members and left a third missing, the US Central Command announced.

Four wounded were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and later discharged; those with minor injuries have returned to duty. Jordan’s military intercepted ten missiles fired into its airspace overnight but reported no damage.

The US response included the seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran since the temporary ceasefire brokered under President Trump was declared over. The latest casualties come after a US Navy pilot, missing earlier this month, was declared dead, bringing the American death toll in the ongoing war with Iran to 14.
