Three U.S. service members were killed in an attack on a small outpost in northeast Jordan, leading U.S. officials to believe that an Iranian-backed militia group was responsible. The attack also resulted in at least 34 other service members being wounded. Eight of the wounded were medically evacuated to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and are now reported to be in stable condition.
The U.S. Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, expressed his outrage and sorrow over the deaths of the three brave service members and offered condolences to their families. He emphasized that the U.S. will not tolerate attacks on its forces and will take all necessary actions to defend its troops and national security.
