Iranian strike kills 2 US troops in Jordan, as Tehran vows ‘unforgettable lessons’

Two U.S. service members died and another was reported missing following an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Jordan, the U.S. military announced Saturday. The attack occurred Friday.

U.S. Central Command confirmed the casualties in a statement, adding that four other personnel were wounded but later discharged from Jordanian hospitals. "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," the statement read.

Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve.

Iran's state media reported that Tehran had suspended its commitments under a memorandum of understanding with Washington. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated, "The U.S. has violated and suspended all its commitments within the framework of the Islamabad MOU."

Tehran also issued a message, purportedly from its supreme leader, vowing the U.S. would pay an "unforgettable" price for allegedly seeking to incite war. The statement referenced daily retaliatory attacks between the U.S. and Iran, which have intensified since a ceasefire deal collapsed a month prior. The U.S. has conducted strikes on Iran for seven consecutive nights, with Iran responding each time by targeting what it described as American bases in several Middle Eastern countries, though it has avoided direct attacks on Israel. The U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X, "Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve."
