The U.S. Central Command, known as CENTCOM, announced that two American soldiers were killed and a third was reported missing while responding to Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks in Jordan.

CENTCOM said four other service members were evacuated for medical treatment before later returning to duty.

The incident comes amid escalating confrontation between Washington and Tehran following the collapse of the ceasefire and the continued exchange of strikes across the region, raising fears of a broader conflict.
