President Joe Biden confirmed that three US service members were killed and at least 34 wounded in an unmanned aerial drone attack near the Syrian border in northeastern Jordan. Biden attributed the attack to radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq. The incident, marking the first fatalities of US troops in the region since the Gaza conflict began, prompted Biden to vow accountability for those responsible. The attack escalates tensions in the Middle East, already strained by the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Biden reiterated the US commitment to fight terrorism and pledged to hold the perpetrators accountable "at a time and in a manner of our choosing."
