Two U.S. service members were killed and another is missing following an Iranian missile and drone attack in Jordan, as announced by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The military confirmed the fatalities on Saturday, coinciding with President Donald Trump's visit to his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. CENTCOM stated that additional information, including the identities of the deceased, will be withheld for 24 hours to allow for next of kin notifications. Four other American service members were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but have since been discharged, while others evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty. This incident marks the 15th and 16th U.S. service member fatalities in the ongoing conflict with Iran since February 28.
