A third US soldier has been killed, after attempting to detonate an Iranian drone.
In a post on X, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that a service member in northern Iraq was killed on July 18 “during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone.”
A second service member was wounded with a minor injury.
Two other service members were killed on Friday during an Iranian attack on a base in Jordan and another remains missing.
“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,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
Before these three deaths, the last recorded death of a US servicemember was a helicopter pilot who crashed in the Arabian sea earlier this month.
Thirteen other servicemen have been killed so far, bringing the total to 20 since the beginning of the war, at the end of February.
Fighting has escalated over the weekend, with the targeting of bridges, water plants and power facilities in Iran.
On Sunday, the US hit a new nuclear power plant in Iran.
The Darkhovin facility in the southwest of the country, which is still under construction, was attacked, according to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization.
“An attack on a peaceful nuclear facility under international safeguards is a clear violation of international law,” the organization said on X.
The extent of the damage was not revealed.
The International Atomic Agency has said the attack does not “pose any radiological risk” because there was no radioactive material there.

Israel is probably calling for us to nuke Iran now. “See, look, 3 of your men are dead. Its time to nuke them bastards!”
After we’ve bombing thousands by now.
20? In how many months? Those are amazing numbers. I’m sad for them as individuals and the families but wow only 20 in all this time. Let’s see 600,000 died in the civil war. 116,000 is troops in ww1, 400,000 is troops in ww2, 36,000 is troops in Korea, 58,000 is troops in Vietnam. 4,000 during iraqi freedom. So suddenly 20 is not very many at all. Death is exactly what you sign up for when you join the military. My staff seg told us all “ we are all already dead it’s just a matter of when”.
People do not sign up for the military to die for Israel while doing nothing to help our USA. Consider the actual oath taken. The oath proves my point.
More similarities are presenting themselves on a daily basis between the “manchurian” style control manipulating the actions and decisions of president DJT, almost identical to the patterns of behaviors of president Joe Biden. In both instances, this was allowed to continue and even encouraged by each president’s family members who benefited by generating great wealth and positions of power from the decisions made. Just an endless rotation of family, government agencies, foreign powers and corporate interests taking the seat behind the controls.
Hard to believe that DJT even remembers or could recognize the version of himself from just a few short years ago.
DJT has never changed. He has been a corrupt businessman and politician his entire life and did exactly what elected politicians do, promise one thing and give you something entirely different. Just look at his record on taxes, immigration, a new 9-11 investigation, a better healthcare plan in 2 weeks, and no new wars….all totally planned failures. As you stated in a previous post, there is no way to vote ourselves out of this mess. It is going to take the ammo box, not the voting box, to fix things for the better.
What exactly are we “in”. Better wages? Less taxes? More work? More over time? Taking out a regime that killls 10s of thousands of its own citizens just for being a different religion? We can spare 20 brave service members
You can recite the zionist lines all you want, no one here agrees.
You have never and will never change, noisemaker. You have been a non-contributing stench laden obscene babbler your entire life. You go form an army of 1 to set things straight.
I would like to see a 9mm go straight up your ass.
Well there you have it, if you join the military over the past decade, with all of the information out there about it in the news, and over the internet, you can expect to be nothing more than cannon fodder. We need to stop worshiping and honoring the military as it is full of people who are incapable of critical thinking and have been brainwashed by Hollywood and video games. The last honorable military in this country was the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for a period of freedom during the Revolutionary War. That freedom lasted approximately from 1776 to circa 1912. Even the Civil War was a total scam.
After 1912 all the way to pre-WWII, those who realized the theft which was taking place and who were able to execute a coup to overthrow the treasonous elements infiltrating the government at that time opted not to do so because it would be a serious violation of the Constitution. Most had served in the military so guess at the fundamental level the brainwashing worked. They believed that the system would work and the criminals could be voted out, guess we know now where that got us. No arrests, no prosecutions and just cover each others’ asses and blame the evil foreigners.
Canon fodder is exactly what the military has always been. Expendable. That’s what each and every person that signs on that line is signing up for. Iran is a horrible country that spent the last 50 years oppressing its citizens and talking the world the will kill every American. Why should they live.
That is a riot, some cheap obscene lying babbler wants to include US in whatever he thinks HE is part of. No way, no sale.
Maybe you worshipped the military, we never did.
The death rate in the military is very low. You are stench fodder.
You babble on jew cock up your ass and in your mouth.
Pussyass refuses to hit Teheran, he would rather allow the slaughter of the American GI.
Tehran has a force field , it seems…..
Tel Aviv can easily be destroyed. You may get what you ask for.
Hopefully you can be easily destroyed 🙂
An adolescent babbling impudent nonsense emitter, you, wants escalation, for precious Israel, right?
Dullard, how many Iranians have we killed already?
What do you want, genius, mass murder to please you? What slaughter? Back to your cartoons.
