💬 US soldier killed in Iraq; remains found of another missing in Jordan: CENTCOM 📌 Tehran, IRNA - The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that an American soldier was killed in northern Iraq on July 18 during what it claimed to be a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone. Another soldier was wounded and remains under medical treatment for minor injuries, it said on Sunday. ​ In a separate incident, CENTCOM also provided an update on two US soldiers who were killed and one who went missing following an Iranian attack in Jordan on July 17. ​ “After a thorough search, US military personnel found unidentified remains at the location earlier today. An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing,” CENTCOM said in a statement posted on social media platform X on Sunday. ​ The command had earlier reported the deaths of two US soldiers and the disappearance of a third in Jordan after the Iranian attack on July 17. ​ Iran has responded to renewed US aggression against the country by launching missile and drone strikes against American bases in the region. 📲 ​
