Two US service members were killed and one is missing in action, the military announced Saturday.

Two US service members were killed and one is missing in action, US Central Command announced Saturday, marking the first American military deaths in the Iran war since March.

“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,” CENTCOM said in a social media post.

Four additional American service members were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but have since been discharged, according to CENTCOM. Other personnel sustained minor injuries and have returned to duty.

CENTCOM said it will withhold the identities of the fallen soldiers until 24 hours after their next of kin are notified.

Many more have been killed by Iran but US has been denying since.

To the last American soldier. We in Israel say thank you to our American friends for always sacrificing themselves for us. We still need American ground troops in Iran to help us finish the job. undecided

Iran has put two in a box ⚰️⚰️

But nothing is new! Americans have been dying for Israel since the US was created in stolen lands and territories through war and genocides.

It is not about scores, strategically it is a failure the pressure and hate for Trump and his party will continue to pile up. Trump is in a big mess as things stand. Even a fallen American soldier in this unjust, unnecessary war of choice means a lot back home. You don't even understand what is going on.

Your childish mind thinks it's about the number of dead. America killed over 2 million in Vietnam and it was still a strategic failure and a disaster for the sitting president back home.
