Two U.S. Service Members in Jordan Killed in Iranian Attack, U.S. Says

(Editor’s note: the actual number of US service members killed is actually three, according to troops in Jordan)

The U.S. military said on Saturday two of its personnel were killed in Jordan and another was missing after an Iranian attack, while Iran’s supreme leader said Washington would pay for “seeking to incite war” after a seventh straight night of U.S. strikes.

The U.S. and Iran have intensified attacks since an interim ceasefire deal signed a month ago fell apart last week, raising the possibility of a return to all-out war.

U.S. Central Command said the deaths of the two U.S. personnel occurred on Friday. It said a third U.S. service member was missing in action.

On Saturday Iran, responding to U.S. attacks on bridges, power facilities and other infrastructure, appeared to target Saudi Arabia as well as other U.S. Gulf allies and Jordan.

In a written statement carried by the official social media accounts of Iran’s supreme leader and Iranian state media, Mojtaba Khamenei said repeated U.S. breaches of the interim deal had shown that President Donald Trump’s signature was “utterly worthless and devoid of credibility.” (Read more from “Two U.S. Service Members in Jordan Killed in Iranian Attack, U.S. Says” HERE)
