U.S. military identifies 2 soldiers killed in Iranian attack in Jordan

Key Points:

• The Pentagon identified two U.S. soldiers killed in Iranian missile and drone strikes in Jordan as Tyler James Feehan, 25, from Hawaii, and Isabella Gonzales, 19, from Texas, with Gonzales killed Friday and Feehan Saturday.
• Both soldiers were assigned to Army missile defense units at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and Ansbach, Germany, respectively; details on the exact circumstances of their deaths were not disclosed.
• The U.S. military recovered unidentified human remains at the Jordan attack site and is investigating if they belong to a missing service member; another U.S. soldier was killed in northern Iraq during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from an Iranian drone.
• The rising U.S. military casualties have effectively ended the interim ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, with both sides resuming attacks, including U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and Iranian missile and drone attacks on U.S. allies.
• Despite ongoing hostilities, U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, expressed openness to diplomacy but emphasized that Iran’s continued aggressive actions must change for negotiations to progress.
