Two U.S. service members killed in Jordan and another is missing after Iranian strikes, military says

Two U.S. service members were killed Friday while defending against an Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack in Jordan, and another service member is missing, U.S. Central Command said Saturday. Central Command, known as CENTCOM, said the troops were killed in action as U.S. and partner forces responded to the attack. It did not specify where in Jordan the attack occurred or provide additional details about the circumstances. Four other American service members were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but have since been discharged, CENTCOM said. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty. CENTCOM said it was withholding the identities of the two service members killed until 24 hours after their families have been notified. The U.S. launched retaliatory airstrikes against Iran at 6 p.m.
