Trump said service members killed were ‘true American patriots’ but warned more US deaths in Iran war likely
The US Department of Defense on Tuesday identified four of the six American soldiers who were killed Sunday during a drone strike on a US base in Kuwait. Donald Trump said “there will likely be more” service members killed “before it ends”.
The soldiers were identified as Captain Cody Khork, 35; Sergeant Nicole Amor, 39; Sergeant Declan Coady, 20; and Sergeant Noah Tietjens, 42.
The US Army Reserve said it would investigate the incident.
In a video statement on Sunday, Trump called the service members killed “true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives”.
