US service member killed in northern Iraq, U.S. Central Command says
CENTCOM said the blast killed one service member and wounded another during disposal of ordnance recovered from a downed Iranian drone.
- On Saturday, a U.S. service member was killed in northern Iraq during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian attack drone, U.S. Central Command announced Sunday.
- The fatality follows a Friday missile and drone attack in Jordan that killed two U.S. service members, raising the conflict's death toll to 17 and marking the fourth strike against American forces in five days.
- Following an extensive search for a missing service member from the Jordan strike, Central Command found "unidentified remains" on Sunday now undergoing forensic examination to verify identity.
- President Donald Trump called the deaths "a very sad thing" but defended the military mission as necessary to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, with more than 400 troops wounded overall.
- Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned of "unforgettable lessons" if U.S. strikes continue, while the U.S. reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports last week to halt crude oil shipments.
