Jordan Is Becoming a New Focus in the U.S.-Iran War
(New York Times) Greg Jaffe - The Iranian attack that killed two U.S. soldiers and left one service member missing on Friday was the fourth in five days on U.S. forces in Jordan. Together, the attacks have wounded dozens of U.S. service members. The first attack struck a residential facility at King Faisal Air Base, wounding five U.S. service members. The second hit a base in eastern Jordan, damaging a significant number of U.S. Blackhawk helicopters. Then, Iranian missiles hit Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Azraq, where the troops were killed on Friday. The earlier strike wounded 20 U.S. troops rushing to take cover in bunkers.
