The U.S. death toll has risen after U.S. Central Command reported finding the remains of a service member who went missing after Iran struck a U.S. base in Jordan on Friday.
Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin in Tel Aviv reported Sunday, “Unfortunately, the loss of life of U.S. Service members, an update. We reported earlier two U.S. Service members had been killed and a third missing. The remains of that third missing U.S. Service member have been recovered, so you’re talking about three people killed by that strike. And another unfortunate incident, service members were disposing of the explosives, and an Iranian attack zone, something went wrong and another U.S. Service member was killed. All of this according to Central Command.”
Yesterday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the passing of two U.S. service members and the missing status of one in Jordan following an Iranian attack on July 17. After a thorough search, U.S. military personnel found unidentified remains at the location earlier today. An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing.
Separately, a U.S. service member in northern Iraq was killed in action July 18 during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. A second service member was wounded and continues to receive medical treatment for a minor injury.
CENTCOM is withholding additional information, including the identities of the missing and fallen warriors, out of respect for the families during the notification process.
