CENTCOM says another four service members injured; Iran says it has suspended implementation of MOU; Washington said sending warplanes to Mideast.
The US military said on Saturday that two of its personnel were killed in Jordan and another was missing after an Iranian attack, while Tehran said it had suspended adherence to the memorandum of understanding with Washington and published a message, purportedly from its supreme leader, saying the US would pay an “unforgettable” price for “seeking to incite war” amid daily tit-for-tat attacks.
The US and Iran have intensified attacks since the interim ceasefire deal signed a month ago fell apart, raising the possibility of a return to all-out war. The US has struck Iran for seven consecutive nights now, and the Islamic Republic has responded each time with attacks it said targeted American bases in several Middle East countries, though it has thus far avoided firing at Israel.
US Central Command said the two service members were killed in an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Jordan on Friday. It said a third US service member was missing in action and four others were wounded.CENTCOM said the wounded soldiers were taken to Jordanian hospitals and later discharged, and “other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty.”“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 statement added.
