Two US servicemembers have been killed in Jordan after their military base was struck by an Iranian attack, US Central Command announced. 

The attack on July 17 at the base involved Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, with at least one servicemember also missing in action. 

Four other American soldiers were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals in the attack, who have since been discharged, CENTCOM said in an X post.

‘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 agency said. 

The attacks from Iran came amid a fresh blitz across the Middle East in recent days, after negotiations with the Trump administration broke down and a ceasefire ended.
