Earlier this month, fighting resumed between Iran and the United States after a cease-fire deal collapsed. In recent days, four U.S. servicemembers were killed. Iran’s Friday attack on an air base in Jordan killed three U.S. Army soldiers: First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan, 25; Private Isabella Gonzales, 19; and Sergeant Angel S. Rampersad, 28, who is missing and “believed to be deceased.” A fourth U.S. Army soldier, Sergeant Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, died on Sunday during the controlled detonation of an Iranian attack drone in Iraq. That brings the total number of U.S. servicemembers killed during the Iran war to at least 18, with roughly 500 troops wounded.
