US military identifies 3rd service member believed to have been killed in Iranian attack
The Pentagon said the 28-year-old was the third service member believed killed in the attack, and remains found at the site are still being verified.
- On Tuesday, the Defense Department identified Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, of Ozone Park, New York, as the third soldier believed killed in the July 17 Iranian attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, updating his status from missing to believed deceased.
- Military personnel discovered unidentified remains on July 19 after a thorough search at the base; two other soldiers, 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Carrollton, Texas, were confirmed killed in the same strike.
- Rampersad's death marks the 18th service member killed since the war began in late February, with 447 total wounded in the conflict that has escalated in recent weeks.
- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul paid tribute to Rampersad, stating her heart was with the family as they grieve this unimaginable loss; Trump is expected to attend a dignified transfer ceremony Wednesday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
- President Trump vowed Tuesday that the U.S. military would soon strike Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, a fortified facility suspected of housing nuclear infrastructure, stating they would hit it "pretty soon and very heavily" as the 11th night of American strikes continued.
