Three United States soldiers were killed in a small United States outpost in Jordan. More than thirty service members were injured due to the overnight drone attack. This has been the first U.S casualties since the Gaza conflict started. U.S Central Command has stated the drone was launched by Iranian militants that have come from Syria. President Biden while speaking in South Carolina stated “we shall respond”. This gives a question to the involvement of the United States going to go more aggressive with the Gaza conflict.
Iran has opened and stated that they were not involved in the attack. Tower twenty two was the tower the three brave souls were in when the unfortunate attack happened ending their lives. Officials have said the injury will continue to go up with examining U.S service members due to brain injuries. The Iranian spokesperson Nasser Kanaani stated that “regional resistance” are groups that don’t take orders from Iran. Nasser also stated that they don’t want war in those regions. U.S Command Center said there have been 158 attacks on the United States Coalition in Iraq and Syria.
