Iran live updates: US launches airstrikes after deadly attack on troops in Jordan

The two U.S. servicemembers killed in action in Jordan on Friday are the first U.S. combat deaths since the early days of the war.

The last combat death occurred on March 8.

That was from injuries sustained during a March 1 retaliation strike on U.S. troops at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia from Iran.

In early July, a Navy pilot died in a helicopter crash during an incident that was described as not having been caused by hostile action.

The European Union and Bahrain, in its capacity as Chair of the Gulf Cooperation Council, condemned Iranian attacks on commercial vessels and regional countries, reaffirming that freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is guaranteed under international law, in a joint statement Saturday.

The statement also rejects "any claims of sovereignty or control over the Strait of Hormuz by any state" and any attempt to impose permits, fees or restrictions on passage.

They called on Iran to end all attacks and interference with shipping and pledged continued cooperation to protect maritime security, while also supporting dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the crisis.

Two U.S. service members were killed on Friday and a third service member is missing, U.S. Central Command said in a statement Saturday.

"Two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing in action," CENTCOM said.

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is condemning Iran’s latest attacks on Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, calling them a “flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the targeted countries.”

In a statement posted on X, the ministry said targeting “electricity and water desalination plants in the State of Kuwait crosses all red lines and constitutes an egregious violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2817.”
