The U.S. Department of Defense identifies Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, as a third American service member believed to have been killed in an Iranian attack in Jordan. Multiple outlets report the Pentagon’s confirmation, stating Rampersad is an active-duty soldier whose death is being counted among the service members killed in the incident. NDTV and other coverage add that Rampersad is from Ozone Park, New York. The reports describe the attack as occurring on Friday at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. While one outlet’s wording refers to three U.S. service members killed, all accounts agree that Rampersad is the third identified service member in connection with the strike and that U.S. officials are attributing the attack to Iranian forces. The Pentagon’s statements, as relayed by the outlets, frame Rampersad’s status as “believed” killed following the attack, consistent with identification and confirmation steps after military incidents.
