The U.S. Central Command announced Sunday evening that it has recovered unidentified remains at the site of the July 17 missile strike on a U.S. base in Jordan. The attack originally killed two American soldiers and left one missing. The newly discovered remains are believed to be the missing soldier, and identification procedures are underway.
The July 17 attack, which The Zioneer covered extensively, was carried out by Iranian missiles. In response, CENTCOM launched strikes on the launch site and IRGC targets, as The Zioneer reported earlier on Sunday. The discovery of the third body brings the casualty count to three killed in the Jordan attack, though official confirmation of identity is pending.
The development comes as the U.S. military maintains a heightened posture in the region following weeks of Iranian drone and missile attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. The remains recovery is the first concrete update on the missing soldier since the attack.
