The Pentagon identifies two U.S. service members who were killed in an Iranian attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan, according to multiple reports. The identities are confirmed by the War Department/Pentagon in the early Monday update. The deaths occurred over the weekend, with the incident taking place on Friday, when an Iranian drone and/or missile strike hit the Jordanian military base where U.S. personnel are present. CBS News reports that the Pentagon identifies the two soldiers who died in the attack on the U.S. base in Jordan and references coverage by its correspondent. The New York Post similarly reports the War Department confirmation of the two soldiers’ identities in an early Monday announcement. Across the accounts, the key points remain consistent: two U.S. soldiers die in the strike, the Pentagon later releases their identities, and the attack is attributed to Iran in the reporting. The outlets do not provide additional, differing details beyond the identification confirmation and the nature and timing of the attack.
