A report published by The Zioneer at 21:40 Jerusalem adds that the fate of a third US soldier is unknown and additional personnel were wounded, following the overnight Iranian ballistic missile strike on the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan. The update follows hours of developments in the attack, which the US Army initially confirmed as killing two soldiers.
At 20:20 Jerusalem, the US Army confirmed that two American soldiers had been killed in the strike. By 21:36, Shiite-aligned channels had released footage of the missile impacts, as reported by The Zioneer. Earlier in the day, reports from N12's Barak Ravid stated that one soldier was missing and that the total US death toll in the conflict had risen to 16. The thread has moved from unverified claims to official confirmation of two deaths, while the status of a third soldier remains unclear.
The overnight strike on the Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base, a key US logistics hub in Jordan, is part of an escalating exchange between Iran and the US-led coalition, as The Zioneer reported on July 12 when Iran launched about 10 ballistic missiles at US targets in Jordan and Kuwait. Open-source reports from July 14 indicated that the missiles likely evaded interception.
The specific details of the third soldier's status and the number of additional wounded have not been independently verified. The Zioneer is tracking the story for further official confirmation.
