Two US service members were killed and one remains missing after Iranian ballistic missiles struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, according to US Central Command. Four other troops were taken to hospitals and have since been discharged. The base near the Jordanian capital hosts US forces and fighter aircraft. CENTCOM says it responded with a fresh wave of airstrikes on Iran that hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage and maritime capabilities. It described the operation as the seventh consecutive night of US strikes against Iranian targets. The deaths mark the first confirmed US military fatalities in the current round of exchanges, which has run for a week. For the families of deployed personnel across the region, the attack turns an escalating standoff into direct loss. Source: US Central Command, reported by NPR and Reuters.
