The view of Iran from the Pentagon

1A | Jul 21

The Pentagon has identified two U.S. service members who were killed on a military base in Jordan in Iranian strikes over the weekend.

A third service member is missing in action according to U.S. Central Command. However, unidentified remains were discovered in the area of the strikes on Sunday.

Those strikes came as the memorandum of understanding establishing a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran collapsed. And on Monday, the Pentagon disclosed that the U.S. has suffered almost 100 military casualties in the past two weeks as the conflict between the two countries has reignited.
