US President Joe Biden said the attack was carried out by “radical militant groups backed by Iran”.
Three US soldiers were killed and 25 wounded in a drone strike in Jordan, the US military said.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that the soldiers were killed in a drone strike on a base in northeastern Jordan, near the border with Syria.
US President Joe Biden stated that the attack was carried out by “radical militant groups backed by Iran».
She is the first time American soldiers were killed in the region after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
There have been attacks on US bases in the region, but so far no casualties have been reported by the US military.
“While we are still piecing together the details of the attack, we know it was carried out by Iranian-backed radical militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq,” Biden said in a statement.
“Jill and I join the families and friends of our fallen and Americans across the country in mourning the loss of these warriors in this despicable and completely unjust attack,” the statement added.
