The US reported that a drone attack near the Syrian border by Iranian-backed militants resulted in the deaths of three American service members and injuries to 25 others. This incident marks the first American fatalities under enemy attack since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began. President Biden pledged a retaliatory response, emphasizing accountability for those responsible. The attack, which targeted US forces in northeast Jordan, escalates tensions between the US and Iran and has prompted some lawmakers to call for strikes on Iran.
