Two U.S. military personnel in Jordan were killed on Friday (July 17) as they defended against an attack by Iranian missiles and drones, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on Saturday (July 18). Additionally, CENTCOM said, one service member is currently missing in action, and four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. The casualties come as the U.S. completed a 7th consecutive night of strikes on Iran following the collapse of a ceasefire and as Iran launched strikes on U.S. bases in the Middle East.

CENTCOM says service members died as 'partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks'.

One service member is also missing in action following the strikes in Jordan.
