3 US service members killed, at least 34 injured in drone attack in Jordan by ‘radical Iran-backed militant groups’

Three US service members were killed and 34 others wounded by Iran-backed militants in a drone attack Saturday night in Jordan — prompting President Biden to vow to respond to what were the first deaths of American troops by enemy fire in the Gaza war.

Saturday’s air assault was carried out against a small American outpost in Jordan near the Syrian border and marked the worst attack in the region since four US soldiers were killed by an ISIS bomb in 2019.

Biden on Sunday blasted the attack as “despicable and wholly unjust” — and warned, “We shall respond.”

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin echoed the president’s warning.

“The President and I will not tolerate attacks on American forces, and we will take all necessary actions to defend the United States, our troops and our interests,” he said in a statement.
