The US military just reported that two US service members are dead and one is missing in action after Iran fired both drones and ballistic missiles at a base in Jordan.
Here’s the statement:
CENTCOM Statement on Recently Fallen, Missing U.S. Service Members
TAMPA, Fla. — On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing in action.
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.
No doubt Iran is going to count this as a huge victory, but I hope it will be short-lived because I have a feeling the massive escalation we’ve told you about is about to happen.
We pray for the dead service members, that one true God would enwrap them in his loving care, and that the missing service member would be found alive.
