U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) revealed on Saturday that two U.S. servicemembers were killed and several more were injured after Iran attacked an American air base in Jordan as the ongoing war continues to escalate.
The Americans and Iranians have been trading blows in recent days following the collapse of a peace deal.
Journalist Sulaiman Ahmed shared footage allegedly showing Friday’s deadly strike.
President Donald Trump responded to the deaths of the two U.S. military members, telling News Nation, “We hate to see it happen. It’s in service to our country. Very sad, it’s a very sad thing.”
“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing,” CENTCOM announced. “Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty. Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified.”
Fox News reported on the attack, noting four wounded American G.I.s were treated at a Jordan hospital and have since been discharged.
Two intermediate-range ballistic missiles were fired from Iran just after U.S. Air Force soldiers arrived at the base.

Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. John Teichert told Fox he believes the deaths will push President Trump past his “threshold of patience, saying the Pentagon will likely deliver a heavy-handed response.
Teichert also suggested Iran used the recent ceasefire to rebuild some of its missile and drone arsenal, warning they’re able to get past America’s sophisticated air-defense systems.
The deaths of two U.S. service members in Iranian strikes could mark a major turning point in the conflict, according to retired Air Force Brig. Gen. John Teichert.

Another retired American military expert, former Marine Corps Col. Mike Jernigan, said he believes Iran is trying to widen the war, which will in return cause U.S. forces to accelerate the campaign.
Iran is trying to "widen the war" following the deadly missile strike in Jordan that killed two U.S. service members, according to retired U.S. Marine Corps Col. Mike Jernigan.

“Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wrote on social media.
The deaths take the American service member death toll up to at least 16 since the Iran war started on Feb. 28.

“Die for Israel.” -Israel
The missing soldier won’t be found because he was vaporized. Trump is who is isolated, the Gulf states are steamed that Trump dragged them into this. Trump and Jared were wheelin and dealin making deals for hotels, golf courses and country clubs. Now the Arabs are going to declare force majeure and pull out their money. Trump stood by while Iran trashed their countries and all of Trump’s properties have bulls eyes on them.

Hey guys, InfoWarriors come here to avoid the BS not fed it
Everyone with a brain knows the body count and injuries of U.S. service personnel are higher than they are admitting. Reports this week and before indicate U.S. bases everywhere in the ME have either been destroyed or have suffered significant damage. The parents can take solace in their sacrifice for Israel and Blackrock.
Welkl stated. You are damn right. And Trump the Destroyer isn’t near done yet.
When you’ve already killed millions, Mr. Trump, what are a few more?
Things are heating up. Get ready for the draft.
Duh. Why do u think they let in millions of military aged illegals?
Were they sitting in there watching porn with their thumbs up their asses because obviously they didn’t pay attention that 20 fukin missiles are heading right at them
